atoms

The atoms of our bodies are traceable to stars that manufactured them in their cores and exploded these enriched ingredients across our galaxy, billions of years ago…We are not figuratively, but literally stardust. ~ Neil deGrasse Tyson

This collage features pages from a physics textbook, as well as eco-printed paper using organic materials from my garden. It is one of a series of collages based on the paintings of ornithologist Louis Agassiz Fuertes. I have edited his images (copyright free) and collaged them with layers of Japanese papers, fibres, and vintage texts. Top layers include watercolour pencils and pastels. The substrate of this piece is an upcycled book cover. It could be framed, propped up, displayed on an easel, or mounted to a wall using poster hanging strips.

Signed on the back, this piece is finished with a matte varnish to ensure protection against fading, discolouration, and moisture. Avoid placing all artwork in direct sunlight.

Taxes are included in the list price.
