I mean it never really left
but I think we're all sensing a (positive) shift in vibes
and I've got some exciting news:
a SuperRare debut, a wholesome collection story, and of course beautiful prints.
^^^ if you're new here, I always include a short recap video so you can "hear" from me 🤘
I’m officially a SuperRare artist, and my ASCENSION series is now listed on SuperRare.
One of my 1/1s from The Great Divide exhibition got collected (ty @moodSlime_ ).
My fine art prints are live! If you're looking to bring the mountains to your home, I’ve got you.
Ok so yes, it’s official. I’m a SuperRare artist.
Funny story: I was actually accepted a few years ago. Then the market did its little thing, and admittedly I got cautious. I took my time.
But lately the energy has shifted in the space... it feels clearer. And with a shift in certain marketplaces, it felt like time for a change and "fresh start". I wanted to bring some of my best work onto SuperRare as a proper debut.
So, three of my favourite mountain photographs are now listed in my collection titled ASCENSION on SuperRare:
This series was very deliberate:
Each photograph features both mountain and cloud, paired with poetic reflections on three themes:
Reflection [of self]
Illusion [of reality]
Paradox [of choice]
These were made during a season of real life shift and reflection for me, where I was fully reconsidering my trajectory... reflections that ultimately led to making the decision of leaving academia and a future as a professor to pursue photography and art full-time.
To see a full breakdown of each piece and accompanying words / poetry, I've written a thread on the ASCENSION series.
Second update, a very wholesome moment from The Great Divide.
So on Thursday I got a notification that one of my 1/1's, "BLOOM", was in auction, and @moodSlime_ bid and ended up collecting it!! It was such a wonderful surprise... you never know who your art is going to connect with or why, and I was so excited to hear that the unique effect of the Turquoise colour shift film really sparked curiosity and connection. Huge thanks to moodSlime for their stoke and support
For context, last August, Catherine Turl and I created a collaborative exhibition for mallowdotart with the support of Linda Global:
& @catherine_turl 
Cath’s pieces are abstract physical paintings (oil + cold wax), and mine are 35mm photographs shot on colour shifted film. A reflection of our adventures and experiences together in the rockies, in totally different abstract languages.
Remaining available works in this series:
"Temporary"
one of one, 1.69 SOL reserve. Check the little moon behind the clouds 👀
"Enough"
only 2 editions left, 0.2 SOL each
"Totem"
7 editions remain, 0.2 SOL each
"Vale"
9 editions remain, 0.2 SOL each
Also, Cath has some INCREDIBLE work available in this project.
Notably, her Layers in Time pieces are for only 1.69 SOL reserve, and come with the original physical (!!!) with bids over 3 SOL.
We always talk about "onboarding new artists" into our space, and Cath is one of the most incredible examples of that goal.
Cath is a traditional physical artist who joined the space not even a year ago and has since had her works shown in five international digital galleries through the space since then! She continues to push her craft, experiment and bring a beautiful energy to the space. If have time to go look at Catherine’s work, please do.
I am so beyond thrilled with how these prints turned out.
in bio
The shop absolutely flew on the December drop, and I’m so grateful to everyone who supported!
I shared a little post about what goes into a print: from the planning, to the climb, to choosing a printer, to holding the prints in my hands and signing & numbering them individually.
I am thrilled to offer collectors of my digital works a special discount on all physical prints. Please feel free to DM me at any time to claim your personal code. I'm super grateful to all who have supported over the years and want to ensure you see this as just another token of thanks from me to you.
Love the idea of prints, but looking for something special? If there’s a piece of mine that’s been living in your head but it’s not in the shop, I'd be stoked to discuss custom prints. Get in touch via DM's or email, and we can work through the options. My printers are incredible and have a wide range of materials and framing available.
