Friends, Flowers & Awkward Silences | Framed Vintage Print on Botanical Mount

A one-of-a-kind framed collage artwork featuring a 1930s bookplate titled Friends and Relations, paired with a monochrome photo print and layered onto vintage floral diagrams, playful, peculiar, and full of quiet symbolism.

What You’re Looking At:

For lovers of social nuance and seed catalogues.

This original piece centres on a page from Elizabeth Bowen’s Friends and Relations (1931), layered over a sepia-toned photograph and framed by a field of vintage botanical illustrations. The hand-built mount uses layered papers in rust and ivory, all housed in a brushed gold frame that nods gently to the past.

Made in the Haus of Beige studio, it’s a celebration of relationships, human and herbal, and the delicate weirdness that binds us all.
