FUCHSIAS Limited edition collage

Inspired by the Aesthetic Movement, this collage is composed of prints of my original pen and ink drawings which are manipulated by excising backgrounds and hand tinting and then assembled using handmade Japanese green Akebono Kozo fiber paper.  Although the overall composition is repeated, the process of hand tinting, excising, and choosing of the individual portions of the handmade papers ensures that each one of the works is a unique creation.  The Akebono paper exhibits the Kozo/mulberry fibres that distinguish its handmade production.
