'Banksia' is an original one off small collage artwork inspired by personal photographs taken in my local neighborhood. Colourful red banksias in a brilliant blue vase has been crafted from layering personal photos and vintage Japanese Shibori fabric together. Embellished throughout with lacquer and metallic thread work. This collage art would look gorgeous in a white, black, light timber or silver/champagne coloured frame.

Image: 11cm x 16cm mounted on A4 (21cm x 29.7cm) off white conservation mount board.

Presentation: Unframed - The art work is first mounted on 0.5cm conservation foam core and then adhered to A4 conservation mount board which creates a lovely floating affect. Ready to frame in standard A4 frame - looks fabulous in a simple box frame of black, light timber, white or warm silver.

All photographs have been printed on Epson matte archival 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!

Shipping: The artwork will be shipped in an art sleeve and sent via Australia Post Express Post.
