Vintage Paper Collage, 'Eye Wide Open'
Vintage Paper Collage, 'Eye Wide Open'
Imagine all the places you could display this original piece of collage artwork!
This piece is titled 'EYE WIDE OPEN' and was created on an old bookboard (the front or back cardboard cover of an old hardback book). Stitching with black thread has been added as well as ink marks. The back side is covered in blue rice paper.This lovely piece can be displayed in a small easel (as shown) or framed and hung on the wall.
Every collage I make is unique and different. Yours will be signed and dated, then carefully wrapped in a protective cellophane sleeve and shipped in a rigid mailing envelope.
Inspiration
Inspired by stacks of discarded old books and papers with interesting text, images, graphics and history, old books are deconstructed, then bits and pieces are hand cut and sorted by color. I'll experiment with the design until I create an aesthetically pleasing arrangement. I'll let it rest for a few days, then return and adjust the design if needed. Oftentimes, ink, pencil and thread are added to provide additional interest and texture.
