About the Item

The images are created rather than found. There is a rearrangement of the sequence of events that leads to the existence of the image. The emotion (the looking in) is identified initially and brings about the motivation to create the image. An image which illustrated a state of being or an emotional state. These images purposefully raise more questions than they satisfy. They speak of ones fascination with twins. Are we compelled by their difference or their similarity? They address duality. As pertains to the content of the work I have concerned myself with certain states of being which I have experienced. It is a dialogue with the world loosely based on experiences of my child bearing years; a saga of mindful waiting, of containment, of primal elements, bodies of water, growing, thawing, burning. I believe birth and death to be the only true mysteries left and each contains an element of the other. -Zoë Zimmerman Albumen Print, made by hand in the 19th Century style, with chemical recipe and printing method of the Artist's personal design.

  • Octopus Vulgaris ( Special Edition)
    By Jan C. Schlegel
    Located in VALLAURIS, FR
    While also available as a platinum print on Arches Platinum Rag (56 x 76 cm), this larger version (63 x 99 cm) of Schlegel's famous "Octopus Vulgaris" is a true prowess. It is printed on 30 gsm Japanese Hand-made Gampi paper. Taking into account the thinness of the paper and the fact that the platinum salt emulsion is embedded into its fiber during the printing process, this is a real feat of technical strength. Considered as the most archival process of all; its perfectly matte tonal range goes from a cool, slightly purple black to split tones of brown and warm black, to a very warm brown. Sold framed with a museum glass measuring 85 x 115 cm _______ The ocean has always been one of the most mysterious places on earth. In the past many legends and myths have evolved around monsters living in the deep sea. As a child many of us used to fantasize about underwater monsters like giant colossal squids having so much power that they were able to take down ships. By looking at Jan C. Schlegel his pictures, you can get a small glimpse of the richness and diversity of our oceans. When we think of fish, we usually perceive them as food and think of salmon or tuna. The photographs reveal much more than what could be imagined and are truly a special tribute to all the different kind of species living underneath the surface. There are sea horses that look like dragons with galaxies on their skin, flounders with their perfect flat form and their ability to turn invisible or even squids that will remind you of aliens from another planet. Using platinum printing as a process allows Jan C. Schlegel to create a deepness in his pictures that makes every small detail and structure visible for the human eye. It gives you the impression of being able to feel the animal just by looking at the pictures. This series celebrates the art of nature...
