About the Item
Sepia Toned Photograph of Eight Wooden Bailers
17 x 17, edition of 25
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 beholds various ancient tools behind the camera lens, staging them as still lifes against simple linen backdrops in warm, sepia tones. Here, he photographs eight wooden dippers used for bailing water on boats.
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.
