St Andrews | Terra Aurea

An original cartographic artwork of St Andrews, created using sand gathered from West Sands Beach.

Set against a rich, deep navy base, this piece incorporates authentic sand personally collected from West Sands Beach in St Andrews. Hand-applied gold metal leaf is laid over the textured surface to trace the streets, coastline and harbour. The contrast between the deep navy and shimmering gold leaf catches shifting natural light throughout the day, bringing depth, texture and a tangible connection to the landscape into your space.

Made to Order & Uniqueness

Each piece is individually handmade in the studio. Because natural beach sand varies in texture and every layer of gold leaf is applied by hand, no two pieces are identical. Your artwork will closely match the design and colourway shown here, while carrying its own subtle, one-of-a-kind surface detail.
