Guardian of Dagverðará

Description

Guardian of Dagverðará

Near the river Dagverðará this soulful abandoned farmhouse stands watch over the ocean. While crouched and photographing the front of this building, a giant Icelandic Raven snuck up behind me and unleashed a deafening squawk before flying to the top of the building and observing me. The raven felt like a guardian of this place. Icelandic Ravens are popular in Icelandic and Norse mythology and Sagas, and known as wise, all knowing messengers and sometimes protectors, helpers and signs of prophecy. Perhaps the writers of the great sagas were right?

Deluxe Edition
Prints with the Deluxe designation are the photographs we are individually most proud of: the captures that showcase our creativity, uniqueness and craft.
Deluxe Prints come with a small booklet containing the story of the print and information about the artist, as well as a Statement of Authenticity for your print.
All Deluxe Prints on paper are hand-signed and titled by the artist. Deluxe prints on other mediums such as aluminium and canvas may be signed on the back, or digitally, as appropriate.

Fine Art Papers
Our prints are created using beautiful fine art cotton rag paper. The paper holds rich colours as well as subtle detail and is a perfect pairing for our photographic art. The museum grade paper meets ISO 9706 Paper Aging Resistance to ensure an archival grade print, suitable for handing down through generations. We recommend liaising with your local framer about how to match your frame, matting and glass to best suit your print, your home, and your décor. All paper prints come rolled in a heavy-duty tube to protect them. The measurements supplied are of the outer dimensions of the paper. Each print contains a white border between 5-10cm, depending on size, for the purposes of presentation and framing.

Float-framed Canvas Prints
Our Canvas prints have beautiful texture and richness and come framed and ready-to-hang in your home or workplace. The canvas is of excellent quality with a fine texture and excellent archival ratings, and together with the pigment inks, have been lab tested to last over 100 years without fading when displayed suitably. Stretcher bars are from environmentally friendly regrowth forest in Australia and New Zealand. We strictly avoid timber from non-regrowth forests and timbers with high tannin and tannic acid in order to preserve the environment and the archival quality of the canvas. Float-frames come in several finishes. You can view these finishes on our Print Information page. Once you order the Float-framed canvas of your choice, we will be in contact directly to confirm your choice of frames.

Aluminium
Aluminium prints are luminous, contemporary and robust. Chromaluxe aluminium panels are made with recycled material and are 100% recyclable. Archival inks are infused into a durable and scratch-resistant surface via a heat press process. Aluminium prints can be cleaned with a glass cleaner, are light-weight and long-lasting. This makes them perfect for those wanting a modern finish for their home, or for art pieces that will be in more challenging environments such as a busy kitchen, or bathroom.

Postage
Postage to Australian and New Zealand addresses is free! If you are an international purchaser, please order your print as usual (or contact us in advance) and we will send you a quote for the postage of your selected prints.
