Photographic print

h: 20 w: 20 d: 1 (cms).

This photograph is part of a continuing photographic meditation on the Outer Hebrides (and particularly Uist) without resorting to, amongst other traits, cliche and sentimentality.

The image is a direct continuation from work shown at the Uist Arts Association 2021 Summer exhibition at Taigh Chearsabhagh in North Uist and acts as a bridge to introduce multiple exposure photography as a narrative device.  

These works have a linear progression from a series which explored lockdown in a small island community using photography to represent the wind that blows across the islands.   The project and techniques will be developed further through the coming months.

This photograph of Dùn Àrn (Dùn-Àarain), a small islet in the Sound of Harris, while clearly evoking early photographic techniques, is thoroughly digital in both it's capture and outlook.  As the image was made with specific post processing in mind, this influences the way in which it is composed on site.  

 

The photograph is printed by the artist on 220gsm 100% cotton rag fine art paper with mounting also undertaken by the artist.  Mount size is 20 x 20cm, image size 11 x 11cm.

This is a single edition print produced exclusively for this exhibition.  Delivery free to UK/EU.
