America's Dyragardur Express | Kristjana S Williams

America's Dyragardur Express, a gorgeous limited edition print by Icelandic artist Kristjana S Williams.

The story behind the artwork:

A contemporary and uplifting, fine art Limited Edition print paying homage to humble postage stamps and their improbable trajectory up and over maps of the world, making connections as they go. Here, stamps and maps are hand in hand, telling infinite stories about all of the people, places and lives that they encounter. The edges of the stamp give the illusion of floating above a light grey backdrop, mirroring the movement of the stamp as it travels, passing through so many hands, and eventually linking one person to another. This map of the Americas has been shrunk down and encapsulated on the surface of a tiny stamp that belies the abundance of life that it holds. Just a little piece of paper, yet so powerful, connecting people and places without boundaries. Across the whole piece, a subtle shift through the colours of the rainbow signifies acceptance of difference. In Iceland, Kristjana has experienced the powerful, unifying force of the Pride Festival, attended by almost the entire population. The connections we make with our fellow creatures, both nearby and around the world, are vital to promoting unity and acceptance.
