Caiman #04 - Limited Edition of 10 Print

All of my prints are created using Hahnemuhle 300gsm PhotoRag paper and archival inks. Meticulously packaged in a tube (Prints are not framed), the greatest care is taken to make sure your print arrives in perfect condition wherever you are in the world. Along with the print, you will receive a certificate of authentication which states the edition number and bares my signature. This artwork forms part of my series Caiman Crocodilus that was created in front of a live audience. All aspects of the image were created in-camera - below is the full artistic statement. The curtain lifts on an ancient beast. In water, on land he dwells. There is but silence, all is still, no rousing of the ancient. But pause a while and watch, my friend, for from the darkest depths he stirs. If you are patient. If you watch. Slowly, carrying history's weight, the heaviness of time, he rises, and takes centre stage - he is prehistoric, trapped in time, unbound by time, a ruler, a victim, wandering, lumbering through vast centuries. The ancient bids you welcome, friend. Come one, come all, humans, species, come spirits, too! Feast your eyes on infinity's great actor. Here's our star - don't stand too close; the crocodile lives! The house lights dip, the scene is set. Two eyes, fierce teeth, a gnarled facade - the ancient claims his place. Enter his habitat. Survey his tracks. Assess for danger, assess the land. From him, we hear no weeping, in spite of what humans do. We cry crocodile tears while hunting hides for handbags, adorning ourselves with his skin - we are nature's terror, his eternal fear. The ancient knows his place. Step beyond the stage and into the world of Caiman crocodilus. Trace his bloodline back through aeons, to earlier times, prehistoric ages - he is magnificent, a glorious performer in nature's great play. Caiman crocodilus, is explored and celebrated. Step out of time, trace a path back to what was once there, before humanity was even a dream, and what still is – welcome, friend, and meet the ancient. ​​​​​​​These images were created in front of an audience. All the colour and smoke you see was actually there. For me, the creation process is just as important as the finished product. This body of work mixes still images with live demonstration, education and performance art, all unravelling the crocodile's great mysteries.
