About the Item
Limited edition of 20
Kate Breakey's artistic process is an act of investigation – a passionate attempt to establish an understanding of the natural world – a version that incorporates both intellectual and emotional comprehension which are sometimes incompatible, and distill them into a visual language of images where they can be contemplated.
Making images of these things is a natural extension of being fascinated, touch, or intrigued by them. Breakey claims that this process of seeing, and recording transforms her. It is how she expresses wonder and love, a form of dedication. It is also a record of her life and desire to connect herself to all other things, the acknowledgement of a search for explanation, for meaning and significances, a primal longing to grasp things which are unknowable.
These images are archival pigment prints printed directly on to plates of glass. Gold leaf is then hand-applied by the artist, and custom framing finishes each work. Each image is printed in an edition of 20, and the gold leaf and frame varies slightly between each piece.

- FORT DE SOTO WAVES #6 St Petersburg, Florida 2013By Jay Mark JohnsonLocated in Santa Monica, CAThis large format, color-photograph belongs to Jay Mark Johnson's wave series - the images from which depict the rhythmic cycling and recycling of oceanfront waves as recorded on remote coastlines around the world--in Hawaii, Florida, California, the Caribbean, Great Britain, Australia and South Africa. These artworks belong to the artist’s ongoing inquiry into the possibilities for timeline photography. For this decades-long project Johnson employs an unconventional camera system to produce seamless delineated renderings of familiar events as they occur over time. The results present an altered view of our surroundings. Artworks from Johnson’s timeline series have been exhibited extensively throughout the U.S. and Europe. They can be found in the permanent collections of the Bundestag (German Parliament) in Berlin, the Zentrum für Kunst und Medientechnologie at Karlsruhe, the Frederick R. Weisman Art Foundation, the Phoenix Art Museum, the Langen Foundation, Hombroich, Germany, the Peter Klein...Category
