Original artwork description:

This painting is one of 2 in my series 'Layers of a Lifetime'
I've always been drawn to old walls with peeling wallpaper, paint or posters and enjoy trying to imagine the history of each facade.
In ' Layers of a Lifetime 2 '' I've interpreted an imaginary section of a wall in an old house by collaging together many fragments of hand painted patterns to depict the remnants of various wallpapers which once adorned the house.
To create these effects I've painted through and printed with pieces of lace and embroideries using watercolours and inks.
Although the painting is sold unframed, I have included an image of myself with it in a frame to give an idea of how it would look once mounted and framed.

Materials used:

watercolour, ink, collaged papers
