Serotonin
Serotonin
From the studio ~
I work with powders often in my commercial photography, but Serotonin began closer to making a sandcastle: pressing a loose material into a smooth, compact surface, then wanting to touch it, shape it and see it change. It carried the simple pleasure of making with no useful outcome attached — the kind of play that can disappear from adult life, but still gives us the same immediate lift when we find our way back to it.
I packed dusty-pink powder into a dense, even field, then cut a wooden curtain ring in half, painted it white and pressed the arc into the centre. The pressure cracked and lifted the powder around it, so the clean rainbow shape arrived with rough edges and movement of its own. That small disruption is what gave the piece its burst of energy.
No generative AI was used in the creation of this work. All composition, editing and embellishment were carried out through deliberate artistic decisions and hands-on processes.
Print Details
This piece features my original photography printed on premium archival-grade canvas using museum-quality giclée printing technology.
The canvas I use is a 340 gsm poly cotton blend with a matte/satin finish. It is scratch, crack, & warp resistant.
The printing process I utilize uses water-based HP Latex inks and UV protection to product vibrant, long-lasting colors.
Framing Details
Your print will arrive framed and ready to hang.
The frames I use are called 'floater-frames'. I've chosen them for 2 reasons: they provide a clean, modern aesthetic that adds depth and dimension to the piece; and the box-like structure provides the option to sit the piece upright on a surface rather than hanging it.
When you look at the work straight on, the frame thickness is 1cm regardless of canvas size. This means that the frame edge will feel more prominent on smaller canvas sizes. From the side, all frames are 4cm deep, this means the front surface of the piece will sit 4cm out from your wall.
My frames are crafted from high quality solid oak or solid hardwood, from renewable sources, and comes pre-installed hanging hardware and rubber bumpers.
