This is a high quality Giclée print of my original mixed media 3D collage. I've added a image of the print framed for reference but the frame is not included in this listing.
 
This piece started it's life when I found an old briefcase full of falling apart, old sheet music from the 1920s. Each sheet had a little envelope taped to the back of it with hand typed lyrics inside. Still my best charity shop find of all time so far. I loved the strong colour contrast of the deep purple seaweed against the old yellowing paper and the textures of it all together giving all the elements a new unexpected but pleasing life together.
 
Based in Cardigan Bay, I find inspiration and materials on my regular beach combing walks along the beach where I live. I combine the natural gems I find with a variety of old papers, sheet music and mixed media to give new life to my little 3d coastal creations. 
 
Printed for me by ThePrintSpace using 11 ultra wide gamut inks on 310gsm Hahnemühle German Etching. This heavyweight paper has a slightly warm base tone and a strong mottled texture. It creates a print with strong colours and deep blacks that feel rich and high in contrast. This is due to the texture of the paper enabling it to hold more ink and capture the light. The German Etching is one of our heavier weight Giclée art printing papers. With its weight and strong texture this paper gives an artwork a handmade crafted feel. Hahnemüle German Etching is a robust Giclée paper, meaning it doesn’t tend to fray as much at the edges. Archival life, 80 years.
