A Willing Winter

Original Paper Collage

710 x 540mm - Unframed (Custom Framing available for South African Orders)

Hand-cut collage of gouache and acrylic-painted papers on 640gsm Fabriano Artistico, layered to create a dimensional collage, and adhered using archival glue.

Inspired by the Erica hirtiflora Curtis, a South African shrub that bursts into bloom in the depths of winter. A Willing Winter embraces this paradox: that vivid colours can rise from grey, that birds still find their way back to quiet hills and that some things bloom only in the cold darkness of 

Winter.
