A brochure from the 14th century gates to the city of Valencia was the starting point for this collage

a Victorian design snippet of Lily-of-the-Valley

Stratosphere orange a calling cardThis 3D collage is a composition of blues: bits of sky, paint chips in various shades of blue, patterns, colourful bits of my paint palettes and details of typography. The title comes from one of the paint chip colours named 'Stratosphere'. This mixed media collage is a 3 dimensional work, built up from paint chips, vintage hand written letters, copies of textile fragments, scraps of brightly coloured paint palettes and black ink drawings.
