Outlands is created from found imagery sourced from vintage atlases and travel books. Small illustrations of hills, mountains and distant landscapes are carefully selected for thei r colour, form and texture, then composed into a mathematically precise dot composition. Many of the images date back up to seventy years and were produced using traditional lithographic printing methods. I am particularly drawn to the subtle tonal qualities of these older prints, often rendered in muted violets and greens that give the landscapes a dreamlike, almost otherworldly atmosphere. Each original plate is carefully removed from the book, hand-bonded onto birch plywood to create a tactile, painted surface, and then laser cut into 16mm dots. These individual fragments are reassembled into a structured geometric field, transforming dispersed landscapes into a unified whole. 55 x 55 cm Available framed in a white or black box frame. Museum-quality UV perspex glazing protects the work from fading. Carefully wrapped and packaged in a custom-made box with protective corners for safe worldwide shipping. Show more
