Winter Evening, New Zealand / Australia

Winter Evening, New Zealand / Australia, available as an open edition print or a hand-embellished edition, both made by me in my Sydney studio. The original is in a private collection.

120 x 50 cm, originally painted 2021. Acrylic on canvas, informed by aerial photographs I personally captured at 30,000 feet over the meeting point of New Zealand and Australia at winter dusk. Deep blues, warm violets, and slow whites that hold the moment one country becomes another from above.

Line work embeds the topographic mapping of the Tasman crossing. A cartography of edges and the moments where two homes become one body of water. 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.
