Description

Artist Comments
“Anthropogenic #7” is part of the image series “How we Bleed the Earth, our Guilt and Shame” A series of images portraying the impact of humankind’s destructive industrial practices on the natural environment. The images portray the terrible beauty of mining’s toxic impact on the land, whilst serving as a reminder of man’s folly.

Human impact on the environment or anthropogenic impact includes changes to biophysical environments and ecosystems, biodiversity, and natural resources. This affects global warming, environmental degradation such as ocean acidification, mass extinction and biodiversity loss, creating an ecological crisis, and ecological collapse. Modifying the environment to fit the needs of society is causing severe effects, which become worse as the problem of human overpopulation continues.

The opencast mines of Rio Tinto have been excavated since the 19th century, providing heavy metal ores such as iron, copper, silver and gold. Mountains, valleys and villages have disappeared from the hungry machinery devouring the land implacably, year after year. Giant scars on the landscape have been referred to as otherworldly with terrible hues of blue, green and red. The runoffs from these mines have created an eerie blood red flow in the river, hence the name Tinto. The river flows to the gulf of Cadiz carrying high acidity levels and heavy metals, in effect making this an environment disaster, a toxic reminder of human’s ability to irreversibly destroy the landscape in the name of corporate profits, a legacy of greed for future generations.”

Fujiflex Crystal Archive

Fujiflex Crystal Archive is a highly specialized and superior photographic material. Fujiflex is a silver halide based polyester that produces exceptionally high quality, high gloss photographic prints that contain vivid colors and remarkable archival properties.

Unlike inkjet printing, printing to Fujiflex Crystal Archive is a specialized process using Chromira LED exposure technology. Photographs are not printed to the Fujiflex polyester material, they are exposed into the silver halide base with red, green and blue LED globes. The exposed Fujiflex is then processed in photographic chemistry to produce archival Digital C type photographic prints that we feel show the true beauty of our photographs.

Print Size: 151 x 84 cm (59 1/2″ x 33″)

Aluminum Backing

The Fujiflex Crystal Archive photographic material is mounted to a solid aluminum backing plate. This solution ensures a perfectly flat mount and a photograph which looks perfect from every viewing angle. 

Custom American Walnut Hardwood Frame

The “Anthropogenic #7” Art Piece is delivered with a Custom American Walnut Frame which perfectly compliments the photograph. 

Frame Dimensions: 159 x 92 cm (62.5″ x 36.5″)

Clarity AR 70 glass by Larson Juhl

The Clarity glass by Larson Juhl is an invisible, anti reflective glass which educes reflections to less than 1% – allows viewing of artwork as intended – showcasing the true colors without any distortions.
