The Oldland Isles I - IV
Justine Smith
2020 41.5 x 33.5 cm
£850.00
Hand-torn Archival pigment prints on 330gsm Somerset paper
Signed and editioned by the artist
Editions of 60
The Oldland Isles is a series of four new map limited edition prints. Each map features images of a different denomination of the now withdrawn 1970’s D series set of banknotes. The maps juxtapose a sense of history with our current reality. They are visually styled in the language of antique maps, with an ornamental border and cartouche: by using historic notes they convey an idea of nostalgia and a past where our place in the world perhaps seemed more certain, yet the lettering with conflicting titles and directions to Somewhere or Nowhere place them very much in the present day.
Also available as individual prints, please contact us for more information
