Mana Island Sunset - Limited Edition of 10 Print

I went out to Mana to look at a flat -I didn't end up taking the room, but I managed to take this image as I was heading back into the city. The/ best examples of New Zealand's "rugged individualism" are the landscape, which is at turns, untamed, brutal, inhospitable, primal -and then paradisiacal or pastoral. New Zealand has virtually every terrain imaginable within its shores -and sometimes -of the shore. It's simply wonderful. Mana Island is a great place for an airfield or spaceport. The bottom third of the picture is the wall facing the road, then, of course, the sea, the island, and the sky. What I love about this is the drama of the sky the tranquillity of the line of cloud above the horizon the distant mystery/isolation of the island -and the relative calm of the sea in the foreground. To the right, the sea is almost indigo, which is a nice contrast with the Azure Blue. I like the solo cloud making a stand against the dying Sun. There's so much in there compositionally to keep the eye interested, and yet there are no people to lend it any familiarity. It's another instance of the splendid isolation that New Zealand is so famous for, and what makes it a place that sneaks into your soul wanted or not. I want to be a gregarious person, and sometimes I am, but the fact is that the older you get the more you appreciate peace quiet, and solitude. I'm not a misanthropist by any means, but it's hard not to fall a little in love with the remote majesty of New Zealand. It's a place that is still so sparsely populated, it stirs your imagination as to what might be in the not too distant future. Once air travel was unusual, now every city in the world is connected. Perhaps space will become familiar.

You will appreciate this stunningly vital picture that is so spirited it will appear to levitate off any wall. The Chromoluxe sublimation technique means that the image is embossed into the slimline metal sheet that has a hanging frame on the back so that it sits out from the wall -by a couple of inches. This means that your rare edition print will seem to “float” just in from of the wall. You won’t need to make a separate payment for framing or worry about breakable glass and expensive heavy frames to carry (if you move to a new house).
