This montage consists of three layers. The characters that appear here are Victorian die cuts. I picked them up in Santa Cruz from a street vendor who claimed that the copyrights on the cuts are long-expired. Die cuts are amazing. I think each of the characters are handmade from hundreds of individual dots that come together to create the image. Another layer here is a photo of paint on glass at Blue Front Cafe on Haight St. The third layer is the Victorian architecture, which is roughly at Frederick and Ashbury. It’s that strange Victorian charm that brings it all together, for me. Thanks for clicking!
