Paper Sculpture Artwork ‘Once In a Golden Hour’ by Amanda Deadman Art

‘Once In A Golden Hour’ is a stunning paper sculpture artwork inspired by the poem by Alfred Tennyson ‘The Flower’. Tennyson’s poem is beloved by Amanda and she has therefore taken the title from the first line.

This piece is a little different to Amanda’s other paper wall art. Here she has created a watercolour paper on canvas, so it’s even more tactile and sculptural.

The three-dimensional flowers are handcrafted from slightly off-white 300 gsm watercolour paper. These are then attached directly to a box canvas. The whole piece is sprayed with gloss acrylic varnish. As the watercolour paper absorbs the varnish it has softened the edges of each flower, but they remain matt.  The canvas, by contrast, has a delightful yet subtle sheen.

The result is a completely white textured relief design revealing individual flowers on closer inspection. And as with all Amanda’s paper sculpture artwork, the different shadows cast are as interesting as the piece itself!
