Bit of Bawden

In one of these collages by John Piper is a tiny little scrap of paper in the bottom left building. It’s a piece of Edward Bawden’s Curwen patterned paper.

Piper used all sorts of bits of paper in these works, there is a piece of musical score right in the middle of the hill with some shading. The clouds are made of blotting paper.
