**First Time At Auction**
Graham Scarborough Davidson (American, 1967-2003). "Together We Stand" mixed media 3D collage, 2001. Signed and dated at lower right. A three-dimensional collage entitled "Together We Stand" by the late Graham Scarborough Davidson, an exceptional self-taught American artist. The "paper world" (Davidson's term for her works) features the Statue of Liberty dressed in the stars and stripes of the American flag, raising her flaming torch, and holding a tablet that reads "HOME SWEET HOME" - surrounded by a diverse crowd of colorful people comprising Lady Liberty's "huddled masses yearning to be free". An outstanding example of Davidson's captivating, three dimensional "paper worlds" set within a wooden shadow box to create a vibrant and brilliantly theatrical display - quite rare, as very few of the late Davidson's works are available for sale. Size: 15.2" L x 12.2" W x 3" deep (38.6 cm x 31 cm x 7.6 cm)
Sadly, Graham Davidson passed away at age 35 as a result of injuries sustained from an automobile accident. She was returning to her home state of Vermont from an art show in Pennsylvania. Davidson was a graduate of University of Texas at Austin and had a successful career as a self-taught three-dimensional artist in Vermont.
According to Davidson's obituary, "She had always enjoyed creating art. However, she had never received any formal training in fine art. In 1995 she was convinced by a friend to enter some of her drawings into an art competition, much to her surprise, she won a second place. Since then her hobby had blossomed into a full time career. She is best known for the three-dimensional collages that she created from her prints of her drawings. Not only did she enjoy creating her works, but she loved showing her creations. It gave her great pleasure to share her whimsical three-dimensional shadow boxes with the public. Her themes always showed life in a humorous and romantic light. It was important to her to take delight in the absurdities that she found in life and to share that delight with others. It was exciting to her to make people happy through her art.
In creating her work, she would start off by illustrating a title or theme using colored pencil and ink. She would have mechanical prints made of her drawings and then hand-cut the prints apart and piece them back together using foam core, thus making it three-dimensional. Within the matting she created, the titles or stories would by incorporated. Then the piece was placed into a wooden shadow box. The final product was a three-dimensional paperworld that is designed to make the viewer happy." (Bennington Banner)
