The Assembly

$800.00

Lake Kerkini, Greece 2021

Pelicans gather without signal. One lands, then three more, then twenty. Then stillness, then movement no one started. I have watched this shape form and break many times at Kerkini. On this morning the group pulled tight in shallow water, wings half open, beaks raised. The frame looks chaotic at first. It is not. There is a logic to it that only the birds understand.

I have been photographing this lake across multiple winters, returning to the same fishermen, the same boat, the same birds. That return is what makes the work. A photograph like this does not come from a single trip — it comes from years of watching a group of pelicans form, break, and form again, and being there the morning the arrangement is finally worth a frame. The Kingdom of Pelicans is built from those mornings.

The Edition

Edition of 7 + 2 Artist Proofs

The seven prints are shared across all three sizes, so whichever scale you choose, it is one of seven. When the last print is placed, the image is retired and never printed again.

Pricing follows the edition. Each print placed moves the next one up, so the earliest collectors acquire the work at its lowest price.

Sizes

Small: 24 × 16 in (61 × 41 cm)
Medium: 36 × 24 in (91 × 61 cm)
Large: 60 × 40 in (152 × 102 cm)

Prices begin at $800 for the Small print.

The Print

Each print is made as an archival pigment print on Hahnemühle fine art paper, chosen for its depth, tonal range and a surface that rewards close looking. Every print is signed and numbered by hand and arrives with a Certificate of Authenticity recording the title, edition number and production details.

Framing

Bespoke framing is available on request. Tell me about the wall and the room, and I'll put together a frame, mount and finish that suit both the work and where it will live.
