The Joy of Stamping was made after a series of Tunnel Books. I wanted to work in a smaller format; by adding a transparent background this piece allows light into the tunnel through its back-panel. The images are carefully arranged to create a playfulness among the images. I find myself being drawn into the depth of the scene, trying to discover more as I take the time to really look in to the small little stage.
 As I am using many different rubber stamps, this one features images from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (from Sir John Tenniel’s wood engravings).
 Panels are cut out by hand.
