Intertidal Aerial Art

Intertidal Aerial Art

The mudflats of the West Kimberley region are fascinating to explore by air. I love trying to find symbols in aerials, and I think it’s easy to find a lot of different symbols in this image.
Along the West Kimberley coastline, there are sandstone rock platforms with real dinosaur footprints. Touching one of these footprints is like touching ancient history – a direct link to a long-gone period of time that is usually confined to children’s books.
In recent years, Traditional Owners have worked alongside scientists to document some of the dinosaur trackways. There were carniverous three-toed theropods there that left footprints like emu tracks, and these tracks form part of an ancient 450km Aboriginal ‘song cycle’ that describes the journey travelled by Marala or ‘Emu Man’ during the Dreaming.
Though it is the tides and the monsoonal weather – not Marala or a dinosaur or an emu – that have created this footprint-like impression on the Kimberley coast, I like to think that it symbolises all three.

Open Edition
Prints in the Open Edition are held to an exceptional standard of quality, creativity and craft that make them suitable for any home or workplace. Each Open Edition print is digitally signed and represents excellent value. Open Editions are printed on the same high-quality finishes as our Deluxe prints.

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.
