About the Item

Vicki McKenna's 'Colors of the Sea at Rousay' is an intimate 14 x 21 inch landscape photograph of the meeting of rock and ocean combining the subtle browns and greys on the rock with the vibrant blues and greens of the ocean. A long exposure time highlights the details in the rock and gives the water a mystical quality, removing the details of each wave and only representing the color. Printed on archival paper with a matte finish and mounted in an acid-free white mat, image dimensions are 14 x 21 inches. Signed, numbered, and dated. Limited edition of 10. As a geologist and teacher, Vicki McKenna started taking photographs to illustrate concepts to her students, but soon became intrigued by the challenges of representing a three-dimensional world with an engaging, two-dimensional image. While it is not surprising that McKenna is drawn to photograph the natural landscape, her interests are broad-ranging, and a fascination with architecture means she is also interested in the built environment. McKenna is represented by Fountain Street Gallery in Boston, MA.
