Landscape 3D Dot Collage Acrylic

Original mixed media 3d paper and wood collage made from carefully collected and arranged pieces of vintage books.

I collect and sort hundreds and hundreds of images from antique books. I group them by theme and over time amass enough of a certain theme to create an artwork.

Some of these little images are from vintage books of up to approx 70 years old. I am particularly drawn to the vintage imagery that's created using old litho print methods. The colours of the landscapes are often a violet or green hue.

The old plates are carefully extracted from the books, bonded onto birch plywood boards giving them a textured hand-painted surface texture. The sheets are then laser cut into these 16mm dots.
