About the Item
Sepia Toned Still Life of an Antique Shoemaker's Tool from Tonga
17 x 17, edition 9 of 25
Silver Gelatin Print, unframed
David Halliday's series consists of sepia-toned still lives of antique objects from Tonga, a Polynesian sovereign state and archipelago comprising 169 islands, of which 36 are inhabited. He took these still lives during his trip there in 1997.
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 his visit in the late 90s, David Halliday beheld various ancient tools behind the camera lens, staging them as still lifes against simple linen backdrops in warm, sepia tones.
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.
