The Last Rookery - Limited Edition of 10 Photograph

What is real? What is an illusion? Can the illusion speak more powerfully than the “real”? The digital revolution in the arts has provided wonderful tools to create surrealistic imagery. I no longer just take images but rather, make images. I may shoot objects with a final image in mind, or just collect them for my “library” that I draw from when an idea comes to me. Color helps conjure emotions and excites the senses. These images may use one predominant color or a complimentary palette. The Last Rookery is an image I created from photographs near my home. I've lived on a large lake for over 30 years and in that time I've been fortunate to witness what an environmental clean-up can accomplish. About 20 years ago, a paper mill that was dumping dioxins into the source rivers was shut down. The amount of bird life has grown by leaps and bounds over that period as a healthier fish population has taken hold and provided food the expanding avian population. We can make a difference. The Last Rookery 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 and is shipped in a crush-resistant tube. Signed and numbered on the front, it also comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. The Certificate of Authenticity has a unique hologram and serial number system that is also present on the back of the Limited Edition print. Your Limited Edition print will be registered with the Hahnemühle Art Registry. You can also acquire the image in various open edition sized prints with a choice of framing or as a gallery-wrapped canvas.
