Used U.S. postage stamps and resin on canvas 48" x 48" 2015
This piece is made with all U.S. commemorative, definitive (regular) and airmail issues ranging in date from the early 1930s to the late 1980s. It was originally based on images of antique "patchwork" quilts. Pieces from this series are more thinly layered with resin to allow the various "imperfections" and stamp edge perforations to sometimes show through the surface, referring to the seams and stitching found in a real quilt or textile piece.
"A Beautiful View" can be hung on both a vertical and horizontal format (hanging hardware for both is attached). The vertical format tends to create more movement and energy and the horizontal format create more calming/static effect.
