Your Path Awaits - Limited Edition of 10 Photograph by Marc Ward

Photography: Color, Digital, Manipulated, Photo on Paper.

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 golf cart I was driving was bouncing down a sandy back road on Harbour Island in the Bahamas. Like I'm want to do, I stopped and got out and took an image of the path in front of me. At the time, I had no idea what the final image was to become... I just liked the hot and bright solitude of the place. I especially liked to path disappearing into the distance. Much later, the idea for the final image came to me when thinking of the nature of fate and destiny.

The Limited Edition is printed on Hahnemühle Photo Rag 308 with Archival Pigments. The Limited Edition image size is 40 inches x 40 inches with a 2" border for a final work that measures 44 inches x 44 inches. Signed and numbered on the front, it also comes with a Certificate of Authenticity and is shipped in a crush-resistant tube. You can also acquire the image in various open edition sized prints with a choice of framing or as a gallery-wrapped canvas.
