Air & Water No. 22 - Limited Edition of 10 Photograph by Marc Ward

Photography: Color, Digital, Manipulated, Photo on Paper.

I was born and raised in Florida... a land of big skies and lots of water. I’ve always been fascinated by one of the greatest visual paradoxes that exists. How is the edge of a planetary sphere presented and perceived as a straight line? The horizon has always been a source of wonder and mystery for me. Who among us has not had a life-changing thought while staring at this incredibly straight line?...
It is a defining feature of our existence on this ball of air, water, rock, and life.

These images are created from my imagination… only the horizon is real. It is a boundary,... a separation between air and water. A separation between our earthly realm and all that is above us. I create images of air and I create images of water. But, not at the same time. I choose my water, then I choose my air. I place them together and then choose the placement of the horizon. The one thing I can’t choose is our Earth-bound view of the horizon... It’s a straight line. The purest line in our world.

This image was produced from two distinctly different places... both beautiful and iconic. The water and beach is from the Gulf coast of Florida while the incredible sky is from Italy in the fall. It is produced in a limited edition of 10 in it's largest print size. It is printed on Hahnemühle Photo Rag 308 with Archival Pigments. The image size is 40 inches x 40 inches with a 2" border for a final work that measures 44 inches x 44 inches. Signed and numbered on the front, it also comes with a Certificate of Authenticity and is shipped in a crush-resistant tube. You can also acquire the image in various open edition sized prints with a choice of framing or as a gallery-wrapped canvas.
