About the Item

Like a Woman's Back by Ron Cowie is a limited edition black and white photograph of the ocean, with waves stretching up to the shore under a dark, cloudy sky. Platinum Print Image size: 11 x 15.25 in. Paper size: 14 x 18.38 in. Mat size: 16 x 20 in. Ed. 2/24 Signed, titled, dated and numbered in pencil on print verso. From Cowie's series: Oceanhead Meditation. Artist Statement: Oceanhead Meditation is about observing, and finding, elegance and beauty within something in constant movement and infinite change. Tides create instant, unique landscapes. What looks simple from a distance is profoundly complex and nuanced upon closer examination All the changes happening at the shore are the result of invisible forces: wind, gravity, and the underwater landscape We can only see the effect of these forces on the physical world, and I find that very interesting.Making art in collaboration with a volatile subject made sense to me at the time. There is beauty in all things. These images were made using a large format camera (5x7 or 8x10), digitally edited, enlarged to make a negative, and hand printed on archival cotton paper with a solution of platinum and palladium metal salts. The platinum printing process process has a long, subtle tonal scale. It is a very archival process that was very popular in the late 19th and early 20th century. Artist Bio: Ron Cowie is a Rhode Island based still and motion photographer. He is the principal owner of Oyster Farm Productions, a corporate video company and the Bert and None Gallery, an online gallery of fine art photography.
