Original artwork description:

Images of faces cut from litho plates from vintage books meticulously cut into dots, bonded onto birch wood, and laser cut into dots. Heros, adventurers, and explorers all turned to dust. Anonymous faces from the past make a haunting conversational artwork. 3d mixed media collage in paper and wood. 65 x 29 cm

Some of these little images are from vintage books of 100 years old. I am particularly drawn the imagery that was created using old litho print methods.

I have carefully extracted the old plates, bonded them onto birch plywood boards giving them a textured hand-painted surface texture. The sheets are then laser cut into these 3cm dots.

The artwork comes framed ready to hang in white as shown.

Framed Approx 65x30cm wide x 4cm deep

Materials used:

birch wood, vintage book pages, glaze
