Marina dell'Isola di Ponza I Photograph

An abstract image of day boats docked in a marina in Ponza, Italy. The scene is a graphic interplay between the distant shapes and the dark tones of the sea. The boats, arranged in a seemingly random yet harmonious pattern, are rendered in a highly graphic black and white visual, transforming recognisable nautical elements into an intimate study of abstract forms and patterns. The image is mounted onto 3mm Dibond, a dense polythene/mineral core sandwiched between two thin archival-quality aluminum sheets. The picture is hung using a Split-batten, made from aesthetically pleasing birch, crafted from two lengths of angled plywood, with one fixed directly to the substrate and the other screwed to the wall.
