by Sue Williams A’Court.
This piece is a part of the Anonymous Collage Series, a series of experimental collage works made with mixed media and found paper from old books and manuscripts.
The series is inspired by rare Tantric devotional paintings collected by the poet and writer Frank Andre Jamme and the philosophy behind them. The ritualistic images were created anonymously by contemporary craftsmen in northwest India (Rajasthan), copying existing symbols from ancient manuscripts onto salvaged paper and then pinned up in a corner of their homes to be used as visual aids to further their practice of meditation.
Collage size: 19 x 23 cm.
Frame size: 34 x 38.2 cm.
Available framed in a white wooden frame.
