One of a series, The Island at The Mouth of The Black Stream combines the outlines of figures from jazzmags with images of natural history, their silhouettes replaced with marbled and patterned papers, resulting in genderless conglomerations set in 1950's scenic splendour. 'The Grand Tour' is a guide to the various monsters and demons one might stumble across while exploring a fey version of scenic Britain.

Available in five sizes as a giclée print on Hahnemühle Photo Rag paper, this print of a hand cut paper collage can also be purchased framed, with five options to choose from.

Please note, these prints have been created using scans or photographs of hand cut paper collages. As a general rule, the smaller the print option, the closer it is in size to the original artwork. While I have taken a great deal of care in preparing these images for reproduction, the more scaled-up the print option, the more you may notice its construction i.e. I use a scalpel to cut the various elements in the collage and the hand-made element maybe more evident when magnified at a larger scale. The same goes for the vintage papers I use. Most of the landscapes in my collages are taken from vintage photogravures - a copperplate photo-etching process that leaves a beautiful grainy finish, which again, will be more apparent when seen on the larger scale giclée prints.
