Beacon
Tax included
£41.00
Size: 40 x 55 cm / 15 x 21″
Framing: No Frame
A mixed-media collage composed of a found photograph, fragments of a newspaper text strip and a paper tag. The elements are layered to create a small, object-like composition.
The newspaper fragment contains words such as “imposter,” “shy,” “proud,” and “beacon.” In its original context, the sentence likely described a person with mixed qualities — someone who might feel like an imposter, while also being shy and proud at the same time, and somehow becoming a beacon, a visible example or symbol.
Because the text is cut into fragments, it now reads almost like a list of psychological traits rather than a complete sentence. Removed from its original context, the text becomes part of the visual composition, accompanying the figure and suggesting a character without fully revealing the story.
- Poly-cotton blend canvas with a matte/satin finish. Scratch, crack, and warp resistant.

About the Artist
Hello, I’m Vica, an artist based in Glasgow. I create mixed-media artworks and prints using materials such as paper, paint, thread and collage.
My work often combines simple figures, patterns and bold colour fields. I’m interested in how marks, lines and repeated shapes can suggest signals, movement and the ways we find our place within different systems and environments.
Each piece begins as an original handmade artwork, and the prints allow these works to travel into new spaces and homes.
Thank you for taking the time to explore my work and for supporting independent artists.
