Wild Strawberry
Price range: R460.00 through R840.00
This stunning specimen was grown in Lara’s garden in Riebeek West. It was initially an experiment to see what would happen to the little fruits if they were pressed. And the result was too fabulous not to make into a print… it’s three-dimensionality almost unbelievable.
The plant spent several weeks in the press, after which it was carefully extracted and placed on to the purest black background (BlackBlack Fabriano).The original pressing was scanned at a high resolution, and printed on to Canson Rag Photographique, 310gsm.
These prints are beautifully timeless, and often profound in their simplicity and vibrancy.
The art of pressing botanicals is a close study of colour, form and composition in nature, and this Wild Strawberry with its roots, leaves, flowers and fruits is a truly a treat to behold.
These prints are beautifully timeless, and profound in their simplicity and vibrancy. The original pressing was scanned at a high resolution, and printed on to Hahnemuhle Photo Rag Satin.
Dimensions of black area A4 210 x 297mm | A3 297 x 420mm.
We also offer framing options… please contact us for details.
When framing use Artglass where possible… your framer should know how to get hold of it. Artglass is a glass which offers very little reflection… ideal for images with a black background.
IT MUST BE NOTED THAT WHEN BLACK INKS ARE PRINTED ON TO FINE ART PAPER AS THESE ARE, THE COLOUR BECOMES EXTREMELY FRAGILE – WHEN TOUCHED EVEN LIGHTLY IT CAN BURNISH OR MARK. OUR RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE TO LEAVE IT IN IT’S PACKAGING UNTIL IT IS IN THE HANDS OF A FRAMER
