The Wasp Factory// "Space Invaders" Original Papercut

The Wasp Factory original handcut artwork. 10 hours+ in the making. Constructed from pages 110, 117, 112, and 127 of Iain Bank's debut novel The Wasp Factory.

I have used letters from the page to create opening line from Iain Banks' debut novel. This line is positioned below the page. The line is:

"I had been making the rounds of the Sacrifice Poles the day we heard my brother had escaped. "

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.

Limited to an edition of just 1. Signed and numbered "1/1"
