LUNA - THREE/TWENTY-FIVE 1/10 Photograph

“Luna” is a stylised and experimental study of lost time. It concentrates on capturing movement, form, and light within 1.3 seconds. (The amount of time taken for light from the moon to reach Earth). The collection is based on the parallel between this crepuscular, non-existent pocket of time, in which we only see the very recent past, and the naivety of infancy. "THREE / TWENTY-FIVE" shows an off centre vertically stretched moon with light-trails leading from the main subject to a ghostly shadow of its former position. Grain and texture give a tangibility to the light decay making the subject appear to lift from the paper. From a far this is a very graphical piece however it can also be appreciated up-close due to the textural nuances and details achieved with the silver-gelatine print process. This process along with Selenium toning allows for incredibly deep and immersive blacks giving the piece a striking contrast. The Luna collection comprises of seven pieces each hand printed using the silver-gelatine print process on heavy weight 300gsm cotton rag; a museum grade, textured, matt fine art paper with a slight ‘eggshell’ sheen measuring 20x24 inches. Prints are then Selenium toned for archival purposes and are signed and numbered on the front by the artist. The final pieces in this chapter were created in 2020/2021. Each piece is a limited edition of 10 (+1AP). Paper size 20"x24" - Printed area 17.7"x21.7".
