Roses N’ Green

from US$250.00

An Italian First Communion certificate, framed with a delicate border of pink roses, gold ribbons and green ivy, becomes the setting for a Space Shuttle on its launch pad — bathed in golden floodlights against a dusky sky. This wondrous Fine Art Print reproduces an original hand-cut paper collage by the artist Aleksandra Mir.

The new artwork combines source materials from antique religious and modern scientific imagery into a new physical and fantastical reality. It is at once a collision and a communion of concepts. A certificate marking a child's most sacred rite of passage in Catholic tradition now enshrines the impending Space Shuttle launch as its holy image. Humanity’s launch into the universe is celebrated as a coming of age milestone.

The blank lines waiting to be filled in are deeply poignant — this could be anyone's communion with the cosmos. The roses and gold filigree frame the rocket with the same tenderness reserved for the divine. It's playful, warm and genuinely sweet.

Giclée pigment ink on Hahnemühle German Etching paper results in a superior quality print with exceptional detail, vibrant color accuracy, and long-term durability. The fresh print reproduces an aged authentic patina and the imprint of the artist’s hand-crafted marks.
