alpha-beta
Paula MacGregor
Colchester, England, UK
Again I have used the humble shipping tag as the carrier for my bookmark this year - to me shipping tags
represent journeys. This journey is to remind us of the long way we have come since we were children
learning our alphabet - to the place where we can become totally ‘lost’ whilst reading a book.
alpha-beta is made up of five layers, the first was made from a wooden letter loaded gesso and stamped
onto the tag to give a textural quality, subsequent layers of dry brushed acrylic paint were built up, the final
one having copper interference paint added to enhance the depth with an iridescent look.
