Shipwreck, Svalbard
Changed your mind? Send it back within 30 days for a full refund; you cover the return postage. If it arrives damaged or isn't right, I'll replace it or refund you, free. And it's guaranteed for life against fading.
A wrecked wooden boat on a gravel shore in Svalbard, its hull split open and the superstructure folded in on itself. Rust staining marks the old waterline. Everything above it is falling apart in slow motion, plank by plank, exposed to Arctic weather with no shelter and no reprieve.
Behind it, the layered sedimentary mountains of Spitsbergen rise steeply into low cloud. The rock strata are remarkably distinct, horizontal bands laid down over millions of years and then tilted and carved by ice. Sparse tundra clings to the lower slopes.
The flat overcast light suits this subject well. No drama from the sky, just quiet, even illumination that picks out every detail of the decay. The boat is disintegrating, but it's doing so on its own terms and at its own pace!
Every print from Exhibition size up ships free to Ireland, the UK and Europe. Studio prints and books carry a small charge. You pay one delivery charge per order. If it includes a print from Exhibition size up, that rate covers everything in it. Outside Europe, each rate covers up to two prints from Exhibition size up, or up to four Studio prints and books. Larger orders pay the rate again for each further two large prints, or each further four smaller pieces.
