The Mother's Gaze
From the field
We climbed for what felt like forever. Rain the night before had turned the trail to a swamp tilted on a slope, and it took four hours of slipping and hauling ourselves upward before we reached them. At the top we found a single silverback and his family, and this mother sitting a little apart, her baby rolling and tumbling beside her while she watched the rest of the group.

A photographic print mounted beneath glossy acrylic glass, bonded to an aluminum backing and sealed at the edges. The image is exposed on Fuji Crystal photographic paper and developed in the traditional way, then the acrylic draws the color forward and deepens the sense of space, so the picture reads as if lit from within.
Where my baryta print reads as ink on cotton, the acrylic reads as an object. Glossy, dimensional, with color and contrast pushed to their fullest. It is the surface I choose when an image lives on saturation and depth, a savanna at last light, water and reflection. The aluminum backing keeps the panel flat and ready to hang the moment it arrives.
