Iceberg - Limited Edition of 10 Photograph

The 'Alchemy of Pattern' is a series of photographs inspired by a trip in 2015 to Laguna San Rafael National Park, in the Northern Patagonian Ice Fields, Chile. This is one of the remotest glacial areas in the world and I took a plane, a car, and a boat and finally a canoe to reach The Glacier. There is something magical about glacial ice. These incredible icebergs were scattered throughout the lake surrounding the glacier like huge blue hulking works of art emerging from the water; so huge I couldn’t fathom their greatness. I particularly loved this iceberg. The texture was incredible and I had never seen such texture and pattern on ice. It reminded me of a beautiful sculpture. Although beautiful, there is a sadness too. These icebergs no longer exist as they have slowly melted away due to climate change. The Northern Patagonian Ice Fields are the world’s third-largest frozen landmass after Antarctica and Greenland. About 75% of the world’s freshwater reserves are locked up in glaciers and ice sheets. In the last 150 years this ice field has lost more than 100 cubic Kilometers of ice. We are at such an important tipping point with Mother Nature. Our biospheres are 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 necessary for our survival. Building a strong connection to nature’s beauty and embracing our fragility within Mother Nature can change our future on this planet; for when we feel connected to something, we care for it and we want to look after it. 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.
