Vintage seed packets, painted wood on canvas

102 x 73cm

SOLD

A collection of vintage British seed packets that have been deconstructed and arranged along with painted wooden strips on canvas. The work is mounted behind conservation glass within a dark brown, wooden frame.

Taking inspiration from allotments throughout the UK, these original seed packet segments have been laid out in a geometric grid. The pattern aims to emulate the patchwork nature of individual garden plots as regularly seen from the raised vantage point on a passing train.

Evoking a sense of nostalgia, these items were produced in the early to mid-20th century.
