Sirens & Silver

The Sirens were creatures often depicted as half-woman, half-bird, who lured sailors to the rocky cliffs of their island home with beguiling voices no man could resist. On his decade-long journey home to Ithaca from the Trojan Wars, Odysseus steered past their island and, on the advice of Circe, ordered his men to plug their ears with beeswax and bind him tightly to the ship’s mast before rowing past at furious speed.

Silver was essential to film development throughout the twentieth century. Silver gelatin is now becoming obsolete in the digital process. Hahnemühle continually refines genuine artist papers for exclusive photographic prints, digital art, and art reproductions, and invented Digital FineArt papers for inkjet printing and art reproduction.

The images are approximately 28 x 36, classically matted and framed in solid wood with archival UV glass. Each purchase includes a separately framed negative from the shoot.
