Description
These original one-off collage artworks were inspired by a journey to Japan in 2017. A country where tradition and spirituality seem to coexist in a contemporary world of bright lights and high tech. When visiting religious sites and historic areas it was exciting to see young women elegantly dressed in kimono and obi with their hair beautifully styled and decorated in flowers, such colour and beauty! Crafted from beautiful textiles and personal photographs - metallic thread embellished.

Handmade process: All photographs have been printed on Epson matte heavyweight paper using Epson Dura Brite Ultra fade resistant ink. Images have been Photoshop manipulated, printed, cut and integrated with textiles. All materials have been adhered to watercolour paper using acid free adhesives, including the metallic and coloured threads. This is a technique I developed in the early days of experimentation to add beauty and sparkle to the work. The result is a flat textural artwork similar in appearance to a painting, while exhibiting the unique and exquisite qualities of textiles layered with photographs!
Packaging: The unframed artwork will be protected in a clear art sleeve with surrounding firm packaging.
