About the Item

Like a Woman's Back by Ron Cowie is a limited edition black and white photograph of the ocean, with waves stretching up to the shore under a dark, cloudy sky. Platinum Print Image size: 11 x 15.25 in. Paper size: 14 x 18.38 in. Mat size: 16 x 20 in. Ed. 2/24 Signed, titled, dated and numbered in pencil on print verso. From Cowie's series: Oceanhead Meditation. Artist Statement: Oceanhead Meditation is about observing, and finding, elegance and beauty within something in constant movement and infinite change. Tides create instant, unique landscapes. What looks simple from a distance is profoundly complex and nuanced upon closer examination All the changes happening at the shore are the result of invisible forces: wind, gravity, and the underwater landscape We can only see the effect of these forces on the physical world, and I find that very interesting.Making art in collaboration with a volatile subject made sense to me at the time. There is beauty in all things. These images were made using a large format camera (5x7 or 8x10), digitally edited, enlarged to make a negative, and hand printed on archival cotton paper with a solution of platinum and palladium metal salts. The platinum printing process process has a long, subtle tonal scale. It is a very archival process that was very popular in the late 19th and early 20th century. Artist Bio: Ron Cowie is a Rhode Island based still and motion photographer. He is the principal owner of Oyster Farm Productions, a corporate video company and the Bert and None Gallery, an online gallery of fine art photography.

By James Sparshatt
Located in Coltishall, GB
The Skellig Islands are off the coast of Kerry in Ireland. Once the home of reclusive monks they have gained notoriety recently as a retreat for Luke Skywalker… Lit by moon light reflected off the Atlantic Ocean swell they portray a calm at odds with the often stormy seas that batter them.. James Sparshatt’s black and white landscapes have an ethereal beauty. They are moments when the natural form of topography is given magic by the transient touch of the elements. The work is also available as a smaller archival giclee print and as a collectors edition Palladium Platinum print.
