Artwork story

I selected this rose in bud form for a commercial job — tight, uniform, exactly what the brief needed. When the work was finished, the rose kept opening. By the time it reached this stage, it had become something else entirely.  I photographed it again, at true-to-life scale. I used engineering software to measure the curve of each petal, holding one fleeting moment of its opening with as much precision as I could. A small spider appeared mid-shoot and stayed in the final image — a tiny stowaway, and proof that the scene had acquired a life of its own.

Print Details

Each artwork is printed on Ilford GALERIE Prestige Smooth Pearl, 310gsm, a heavyweight photographic paper with a softly lustrous semi-gloss finish.

I chose this paper for the way it holds fine photographic detail and rich colour while keeping reflections softer than a high-gloss print.

Fine Art Prints that include a white border are designed that way as part of the artwork presentation. The selected size refers to the full dimensions of the printed sheet, including the border.
Framing Details

Framed works are handmade in Sydney and arrive ready to hang.

Choose from Black, White or Natural Oak. Each frame has a clean gallery-style profile measuring 2 cm wide × 4 cm deep.

The artwork is protected behind UV-resistant Shinkolite Perspex and backed with 5 mm acid-free adhesive foamcore.

The work is presented without a mat, allowing the image to sit cleanly within the frame. Where a white border is included, it forms part of the artwork itself and is not a framing option.

As a guide, allow approximately 1–2 weeks for metro areas, 2–3 weeks for regional areas, and 3–4 weeks for WA, NT and TAS. Tracking is provided once your order has been dispatched.

Because each print is made specifically for your order, I don’t generally accept returns or exchanges for change of mind.
