An Octopus Has Nine Brains

Rook

£60.00

I love these smart birds and could happily watch them fool around all day long. Did you know they can mimic human speech and learn words just as well as parrots? (Don't believe me - Google it!!) I highly recommend the wonderful book "Corvus - A Life With Birds" to change how you see both birds and crows forever.

THE PHOTOGRAPH

Originally a black and white long exposure photograph I took back in the 90's, I wanted something big and red on my wall, and so I coloured it in. I guess it's half painting and half photography.

HOW WE MAKE THE PICTURE

We build everything ourselves in the gallery. The photograph is printed on the very best archival matte canvas, hand coated in a matte varnish we import from America, and then left flat to dry for a few days. This means the picture can be cleaned with a damp cloth, and the great thing about a matte finish with no glass is that you have no distracting glare or reflections. It's a much more direct experience.

Whilst the print is drying we can get on with making the stretcher frame and the tray frame that the finished canvas will drop into. The tray frame is then hand painted.

Next the canvas is stretched over the stretcher frame. After that, we carefully paint the canvas edges with several coats of the same paint used on the tray frame, so they match perfectly. Then we assemble the canvas and frame, put a hanging wire on the back, and attach a Certificate of Authenticity. Finally Neil signs the piece front and back adding the title and edition number.

We use the very best materials, and I would expect my pictures to look exactly the same in 100 years. They won't fade in our lifetime.
