Scape is a collage and print, featuring delicate layers of colour, textures and shape, using calming colours.
The body of the work is set against a plain white background, the edges of the “Scape” are ragged, creating the impression an old piece of paper that has been folded for a long time and then unfolded. This creates with the crease lines in an ordered grid pattern, formed by four straight lines at each edge. In contrast, the paper is curved at the corners, so that each edge has a different shape.
