My name is Ruben James McNeil-Walsh. I am a mixed media artist, making maps and stencils from incredible postage stamps sourced from across the world.
A number of years ago, my grandfather gave me his extensive stamp collection. I quickly discovered the stamps were a celebration of national identity, culture and pride. Since then, I have added to the collection, sourcing amazing stamps from philatelists across the world, hand-picking those that I think best represent each country. To me, stamps are a little snapshot of a place, a time and a journey.
