Artwork description:

A fine art black and white photography print of the beautiful coastline on the Isle of Bute in the Scottish Highlands. The tiny island in the distance is Inchmarnock Island, an island with a history that reaches back thousands of years. Standing here, with the fading light, the island seems small and insignificant yet it was enormously important back in the middle ages. Home to early monks, the scene of rampaging Vikings and at the far end is a small grave, the resting place for the Queen of the Inch. This ancient queen from the bronze age was buried with a magnificent jet necklace that speaks of important trading routes that made this island so important.


Printed at 72 x 36 inches including 2 inches white border with the signature, title and edition number under the image.

Printed on beautiful thick fine art paper with a slight sheen, a baryta paper that is similar to the papers used in old darkrooms.

About My Materials
People often say that my images look like paintings because of the richness of the colours, the depth of the black and the texture of the materials I use. Arches-Canson are one of the oldest paper manufacturers in the world, they have been making paper for over 450 years in France. Founded in 1557 and printers to Louis XVI, their paper was used by Voltaire and Napoleon and the Montgolfier brothers used Canson paper to make the first hot air balloon.
