From the An Abyss of Glass & Color project, An Abyss of Glass & Color #5 represents the fifth image in a 10-image series that builds and extends upon the foundations of the original An Abyss of Glass project. A project that immerses viewers in a mesmerizing world of floating shapes and contours created through the ethereal interplay between color, highlights, and shadows on various glass objects. An Abyss of Glass & Color expands the original project with the dynamic addition of color. This new 10-image series continues to evoke the sensation of peering into an endless void, where light, form, and now color interact in a delicate balance of order and chaos.
Inspired in part by Jan Grover's meticulous compositions— where objects and the spaces they occupy create compelling relationships—this project takes that influence in a new and unexpected direction. Rather than simply relying on the layered objects to build depth, An Abyss of Glass & Color harnesses the luminous highlights and color reflected off the glass. It is an approach that transforms the interaction between light, shadow, and color into a complex, ever-shifting visual dialogue, inviting viewers to engage with both the individual elements and the dynamic connections between them.
However, rather than simply borrowing from Grover's techniques, the unique shooting process sets this project apart. Captured from beneath a sheet of glass, the layering begins at the picture plane itself, creating a sense of dimensionality that does not extend outward but instead recedes into a visual abyss. The result is a dynamic composition that alternates between structured precision and a seemingly chaotic cacophony of chaos—an immersive exploration of depth, reflection, and spatial tension.
The Print
My Limited Edition prints are meticulously crafted to the highest standards, using a professional printer and professional quality papers and ink. The paper is museum-quality Hahnemühle's FineArt Baryta Satin, recognized for its exceptional detail and resistance to aging. Made of 100% α-cellulose that has been refined with a special inkjet coating for FineArt applications. This subtly textured, smooth base paper contains no optical brighteners and has a silky, smooth surface texture with a beautiful feel and a substantial weight of 300gsm that surpasses the thickness of standard prints. The satin-gloss premium inkjet coating guarantees exceptional print results with intense colors, deep blacks, and outstanding sharpness. It's an acid and lignin-free FineArt paper that meets the most exacting requirements for age resistance and produces stunning FineArt reproductions of black and white and color photographs.
To complement Hahnemühle's paper, prints are created on an Epson's SureColor P800, a professional quality printer that uses eight Epson UltraChrome HD archival inks to produce stunning images. Additionally, these archival inks ensure that your Limited Edition Fine Art print will remain fade-resistant for many decades, preserving its brilliance and beauty for future generations.
Authenticity
My dedication to authenticity starts with discreetly embossing my logo on the bottom right corner of the print, ensuring you are provided with a genuine Limited Edition Fine Art Print. Further, each print includes a personalized, signed, and dated certificate of authenticity with essential information such as the title, caption, print size, number in the series, captured date, and location for landscape and nature prints. Also, to further its authenticity, security hologram stickers with matching serial numbers are affixed to both the certificate and the backside of the print.
Shipping
Ensuring your Limited Edition Fine Art Print is pristine and ready to frame when it reaches your hands is a top priority. Appropriately, I follow a meticulous and carefully curated process. First, to ensure each print meets my high standards, prints are created for each order, allowing me to inspect the quality for any defects. Once it passes my stringent quality inspection, I allow it to dry for 48 hours before it is prepared for shipping. Lastly, for the shipping process, I add a protective sheet of archival paper over the print before it is securely rolled and packaged in a sturdy mailing tube (larger prints) or sandwiched securely between two layers of cardboard for mailing envelopes (small prints).
For customers in the United States, including Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands, I am pleased to offer complimentary USPS Priority Mail Shipping for all orders exceeding $80.00 and a flat $9.99 rate for all other orders.
Framing
For my customer's convenience, I carefully selected print sizes that readily fit available in-stock frames at your local craft or frame stores. With these standard-size frames, customers will have a wide array of options to choose from, ensuring they can easily find a frame that complements the print perfectly.
Custom framing from local craft and frame stores or online retailers is another option to consider. At Local stores, whether it's for a custom order or one of their in-stock options, their knowledgeable framers can offer advice for selecting the perfect frame. However, online retailers are also a great resource, especially those with the ability to upload a digital image to compare frames with a visual representation of your new Fine Art Print.
