Original artwork description:

This is a collage (some of which is hand coloured) on an acrylic painted background with a Plymouth theme (see the hat). Bit of a Dada influence in there somewhere. The map is in fact, part of the constituency where the first female MP was elected in the UK. The picture itself is on a ready to hang box canvas and all aspects of the surface have been 'varnished' with acrylic gloss gel which makes sure that the collage aspect is firmly secured and protected.

Materials used:

acrylic paint, paper and card
