Half Moon Marble - Limited Edition of 10 Photograph

The Alchemy of Pattern is a series of photographs inspired by a trip to Laguna San Rafael National Park, in the Northern Patagonian ice fields, in Chile in 2015. One of the remotest glacial areas in the world, I took a plane, a car, a boat and finally a canoe to reach The marble Caves. The shape and the texture of this part of the cave was so beautiful, I love the curve and the depth. Nature is the true artist, and there seemed to be an alchemical process at work, combining an organic transformation of water, light, silt, limestone and other natural materials along with the most important factor; Time. I was astounded by the incredible textures and patterns of the caves. The more I looked at my photos the more I saw a repetition of pattern. Pattern is not only repeated throughout nature, but also in our actions in everyday life. We are at such an important tipping point with mother nature, the environment is declining at a rapid rate. To become conscious of the patterns we repeat in our lives our connection to nature and our reliance upon it is a necessity to survive. I knew that what I was seeing was a rare opportunity and I wanted to capture the beauty of the accelerated changing landscapes and nature of the ice fields of Northern Patagonia. When we are connected to something, we care for it and we want to look after it. Making a strong connection and recognizing our patterns, and our fragility within mother nature will change our future on this planet. Printed on Hahnemühle Photo Silk Baryta 310gsm paper. Photo Silk Baryta is a white, silk gloss baryta alpha cellulose paper that gives the impression of a traditional silver halide photo paper. The unique barium sulphate coating ensures an extraordinary image result, and with its increased tonal range and sharper image the paper's unique glossy Baryta surface lends itself perfectly to Kashfi Halford’s brightly coloured textured images enabling creamy shades of white and velvety deep blacks. Your print is produced by one of the top printers in London or Rio de Janeiro depending on the artists residency at the time. Kashfi will then personally proof and check the artwork. It is then signed and numbered and comes with a certificate of authenticity. It will be printed with a 1 inch white border ready for framing.
