in #art6 years ago

Aeternus Mechanicus is a handcut collage i created a while ago as part of my Homo Mechanicus series. My idea was to create the image of a massive superstructure guarding Earth against the horrors of the universe and using the rotation of the Moon as a source of energy. The structure has the symbolic form of an angel and also includes male and female attributes, being a guardian and a creator at the same time.

The size of the artwork is 100/70cm and i used images printed on 330gr velvet paper cut and pasted on black hardboard.
