About the Item
Sepia Toned Photograph of Five Ceremonial Canes from Tonga
ed. 4/25
17 x 17 inches
silver gelatin print on archival paper, unframed
Tonga was once at the center of a vast trading empire stretching 500,000 square kilometres (193,000 square miles) across the Pacific. Stone tools imported during the last 1,000 years from Fiji, Samoa, and the Society Islands reveal that the maritime empire of Tonga served as a hub through which prehistoric people exchanged products and political ideas.
During a visit to Tonga in the late 1990s, David Halliday beheld various ancient tools behind the camera lens, staging them as still lifes against simple linen backdrops in warm, sepia tones.
About the Artist:
David Halliday's photographs are about beauty, pure and simple. His primary subjects are carefully composed still lifes, portraits and landscapes which he shoots in black and white film with only natural light. He is a purist behind the lens, rarely manipulating his negatives in any way and a master in the darkroom. His work has an ethereal quality that's translated not only through the subject, but also by the warm colors and sepia tones he uses in his printing.
