Peter Dombrovskis - Macrocystis and Hormosira Seaweed
$98.00
Macrocystis and Hormosira seaweed, Tasmania
The kelp (Macrocystis) and the Neptune’s necklace (Hormosira) featured in the photograph both have gas-filled bladders (pneumatocysts) that keep them afloat and allow the seaweed to receive sun for photosynthesis. If you look closely at the kelp pneumatocysts, you can just see the reflection of a man, Dombrovskis himself, crouching next to a tripod. It is a rare self-portrait, probably an accidental one.
Pigment ink print on archival Canson Platine fibre rag paper, 100% cotton.
The images by Peter Dombrovskis have been through an exhaustive remastering process. The high resolution scans from the National Library have been painstakingly retouched to remove embedded dust and scratches. To ensure accurate colour rendition, they have been referenced against publications that Peter was proud of and the prints have been checked and approved by Liz Dombrovskis. The images are printed with pigment ink on Canson Platine Fibre Rag, a 100% cotton rag archival paper. These prints will last over 100 years and are amongst the most archival processes currently available. Remastered by fine art printer, Simon Olding, exclusively for Wild Island Tasmania.
