Ingrid’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.

‘Ingrid’s House’ is a one-off mixed media collage glued onto cartridge paper, and has a fantastical ginger-bread house feel! I have cut away the walls and roof of the house, and glued some bright pink patterned fabric for the walls and some purple polka dot fabric for the roof. I went completely wild with the garden and threw in more and more layers to create an over-the-top garden, like something out out of a fairytale!  It has a double page centre line which I was not able to hide in the sky as well as usual, but I think it adds to the imperfect charm of this hand-made piece.

Paper and image size are the same: 30 x 45cm. It will easily fit into a standard 29.7 x 42cm (A3) opening mount without much of the image.

Selling unframed.
