About this painting
A series of three miniature paintings in a heavily customised and sculpted frame. Began in 2013, this work has been a gradual obsession over many years, and as of 2024 is still in progress.

Technical details
The frame required a lot of modification. A thick, wooden back panel needed to be added. Twisted plastic vines were then scuplted, and epoxy clay and real rose thorns were added, before being painted using acrylics, metallic paint, and added dust scented; sage and lavender and chamomile. The painting looks and smells Victorian.
