Description & Technique

This is the opening page (5) from JD Salinger's novel Catcher in the Rye. Possibly my favourite ever book.

I have cut the image of a merry-go-round horse as well as the line "I'm standing on the edge of some crazy cliff..."

Both image and line are symbolic. The line in the novel goes on to explain why the novel is called Catcher in the Rye. The merry-go-round is symbolic of Holden's transition from childhood as well as the cyclical nature of things.

Hand cut.

The papercut is adhered to a giclee printed black grunge background.

The box frame has a 20mm gap between the artwork and the glass.

Dimensions

The framed artwork is 320mm x 230mm

The artwork itself is A4 in size (210mm x 297mm)

Framing

Framing is avilable and arrives ready to hang.

The free frame option is an acrylic frame with standard glass.
