Piranesi// "Moon in the Third Northern" Original Papercut

Piranesi original hand cut book artwork. Hand cut from the first 4 pages of Susanna Clarke's stunning novel Piranesi.

My papercut focusses upon themes of the novel, the tides, statues, the moon - and more specifically from inspiration in the the opening pages.

I have used letters from the page to create a line from the novel. Again, this like reflects the theme of the sea and of the tides. The line is:

"In my mind are all the Tides
Their Seasons
Their ebbs and their flows."

The papercut is attached to the black background using a combination of glueing and hand stitching. This technique allows the artwork to be free from the background, providing life, depth and shadow.

The box frame has a 20cm gap between the artwork and the glass. This allows the artwork to be a three dimensional piece as several sections of the artwork are raised from the surface.

Artwork is 330mm x 470mm out of the frame.
In the frame, the artwork is 350mm 490mm

This papercut arrives in a black frame and is ready to hang.

The artwork is professionally framed by a local framer. All our frames are handmade, open grain, wooden box frames. Box frames provide a space between the glass and artwork.

Framed with conservation glass to protect your artwork from fading/damage caused by UV light.

Frame size is approx 35cm x 49cm x 3.5cm.
