Felicity’s House

Description

In this category, I make one-off piece of art using magazine images of a house, cut out the exterior, and lay fabric underneath the cut out. I then build up a garden from a variety of magazine images to create a fantastical Alice-in-wonderland, or gingerbread house look. Double page spreads have a centre line, which I try to minimise a much as possible.

‘Felicity’s House’ is a one-off double page magazine mixed media collage glued onto cartridge paper. I have carefully cut out the walls and roof and glued some fun red floral fabric behind. In keeping with the red floral theme, I created a garden with flowers that are saturated in colour and slightly oversized, giving this house a fairytale feel. I have tried to conceal the centre line as much as possible. You can faintly see the magazine print on the reverse of the page in the sky. As this has been created from a used magazine, the paper is not pristine, it does not lay completely flat, and the side edges are a little raggy (which would be hidden under a mount). It is imperfect, and a bit of eye-popping colourful fun.

Paper size and image size are the same: 30 x 44cm (just over A3). It would fit perfectly behind a standard 29.7 x 42cm (A3) opening mount

Selling unframed.
