Summer Sunset in Rural Tuscany

Summer Sunset in Rural Tuscany, available as an open edition print or a hand-embellished edition, both made by me in my Sydney studio. The original has found its home with a private collector.

I took the aerial photograph from a plane window at 30,000 feet over rural Tuscany, the place where I stopped running and started breathing. Pinks, oranges, and yellows wash across the surface, held together by white topographic line work tracing the Tuscan terrain and curved roads.

The original was acrylic on canvas. The print preserves the embedded aerial photograph and the topographic line work. Part of Maps to Milk: Contemporary Cartography of the Diaspora.

Choosing your finish

Open edition, from $65. The full artwork, archival printed on cotton rag paper and signed by me. Same image and same paper as the hand-embellished edition, in four sizes from A5 up.

Hand-embellished, from $499. The same print, then worked back into by hand with ink and synthetic polymer: architectural detail, painted edges, marks that follow the terrain underneath. Signed and numbered on the back, edition of 25 per size, Certificate of Authenticity included. Each one is a different variation, so the one you receive exists once.

The difference in price is the hand work, several hours on each print, and the edition limit of 25 per size.
