Your Country Needs You! Mixed Media

Postage Stamp Collage
This picture is composed of approximately 1800 used postage stamps which are available in a huge range of colours and designs. The stamp colours are not altered and post marks are still visible on close observation. This picture was created on quality deep edge canvas. It is not framed and should not be displayed in direct sunlight although all canvases are varnished twice and have a coat of U.V. protection.
In times of Covid ‘Your Country Needs You’ seemed such an appropriate use of Lord Kitchener’s famous icon. Here the mask is based on the Union Flag as independent of the devolved countries. Covid crosses all barriers and boundaries.
