Work is a double page from an Italian botany book. The page has been removed from the original book and cut to form a new object. The fold remains at the centre of the page. A large portrait rectangle has been cut from the right half of the page so only a thin border remains. A small landscape rectangle has been cut to top right corner, partially removing the original page number. To the left half a small landscape rectangle has been cut to bottom left leaving a border and a larger portrait rectangle has been cut removing the bottom edge. A larger landscape rectangle has been cut to top right removing the top edge. Of the imagery that remains parts of a red flower are visible to the left and a red rose is visible to the top centre right.The work is a form of anti-collage where material has been removed from a found source. Forms, notes and background for the work in “Acquisitions – Kinross Scholarship” file.
