This wall art piece is made from carefully collected and arranged pieces of vintage books.I collect and sort hundreds and hundreds of images from antique books. I group them by theme and over time amass enough of a certain theme to create an artwork.Some of these little images are from vintage books of up to approx 70 years old. I am particularly drawn to the vintage imagery that's created using old litho print methods. The colours of the landscapes are often a violet or green hue.The old plates are carefully extracted from the books, bonded onto birch plywood boards giving them a textured hand-painted surface texture. The sheets are then laser cut into these 9.5cm rhombus shapes. We use museum quality UV perspex glaze to protect the artwork from fade. Original artwork. Unframed: 65 x 60.5cm Framed: 68 x 63.5cm Carefully wrapped and packaged inside a custom-made box with protective corners for safe shipping worldwide.
