Item details

UNFRAMED ABSTRACT POSTAGE STAMP ART
upcycled used postage stamp collage

DIMENSIONS
Overall board size - A1 (59.4cm x 84.1cm or 23.4" x 33.1" approx.)
A border is left blank around the design area for matting/framing

This unique, one of a kind collage, will be made to order, just for you.
(Exact stamps used may vary from those shown depending upon availability at time of order, but overall colour pattern will be very similar to above.)

DESIGN
Using a combination of upcycled classic British Machin-design postage stamps in rich jewel-tones, the abstract diagonally striped pattern shown in photos above will be re-created just for you. The stamps still bear fragments of postmarks and other cancellation marks as a testament to their former active service for the Royal Mail, ensuring that every artwork created from this pattern is an entirely unique slice of postal history.

The reverse of the piece will be hand-stamped, numbered and signed by the artist, Su Mwamba.

PROCESS
The postage stamps are first soaked from their original envelopes, dried, then individually glued into place by hand onto sturdy mountboard (using an acid-free, xylene-free adhesive). It's a painstaking process!

CUSTOMISE
If you would like a similar piece but in an alternative size or colour combination, please get in touch to discuss your requirements. Custom orders are welcome!

The piece shown was originally a commission for a private client. I loved the finished artwork and thoroughly enjoyed the process of working at this (larger than usual, for me) scale, so decided to release the design as a 'made to order' option.

Even when using the same colour stamps, each one varies ever so slightly and so every artwork created from this pattern will be an utterly unique slice of postal history.

I am looking forward to working on future versions and am currently working on pattern variations, so if you like the idea of this artwork but this particular formulation is not quite 'you', please get in touch - I am happy to tailor a piece to your requirements!
