Ayres Rock - Uluru - Stamp collage using Australian stamps

Ayres Rock - stamp collage by Rachel Markwick



Earlier this month I posted about making this collage, inspired by finding an aboriginal artwork in a charity shop. It's now finished, and  I'm getting  some high quality giclee prints made actual size of the original, which is A3.                                                                                                                             

I've used mainly Australian stamps to create this collage of Ayres Rock, also know as Uluru, the world's largest Monolith.  The very last stamp to be included was one depicting kangaroos. There are in fact several different kangaroo stamps in the collage, along with wombats, lizards and Australian flora.  Aboriginal artworks on stamps also feature on the rock itself.

Australia Day 26th January 2012

Look closer : this Australian flag is made of Australian stamps. So much to see, from beautiful scenery, native Australian wildlife and flowers to that famous Australian song, Waltzing Matilda.

This picture is available as a canvas print and as a greetings card. Contact me for details.
