Mounds are half-plant, half-human creatures in the paintings and writings of artist Trenton Doyle Hancock. Hancock's mounds resemble black and white striped hills, with tree-like skeletons and roughly human-like heads. Mounds represent good in the artist's own depiction of a spiritual struggle between good and evil (evil being represented by vegans).
A mound is a general term for an artificial pile of earth, gravel, sand, rocks, or debris. The most common use is in reference to natural earthen formation such as hills and mountains, particularly if they appear artificial. The term may also be applied to any rounded area of topographically higher elevation on any surface.
