Sculptural paper relief made from rolled quilled spirals, thick stacked cutouts and fine fibrous card texture. A village-style city lane entrance: a stone archway framing a cobbled street with stacked cutout houses in plum, coral, teal and butter yellow on both sides, quilled spiral lamps hanging overhead, a few quilled flowers in window boxes and layered cutout clouds in the sky, centred in the square.
Light: warm side light from the left makes every curled edge and spiral cast a clear dimensional shadow, the archway's inner edge in deep plum with a glowing butter-yellow street beyond it, plum, lilac, coral, butter yellow and teal against warm ochre; the cobbled street leads through the arch. Richly saturated, tactile, handmade finish.
Square 1:1 frame, centred composition with breathing room on all sides. No people, vehicles in motion, readable text, signs, shopfront lettering, numbers or logos; every sign and shop front is blank.
