The Story.
Theo seated outside his family’s caravan in Dorset. Theo has been a tinker for most of his life and has been making masks for the last seven years. His hands are huge and seem at odds with the detailed intricacy of his elaborate masks, which are made from combinations of road-kill, scrap and junk. The organic skins, fur bone and feathers he uses are mixed seamlessly with copper, stainless steel and brass into startling and much sought after masks and headpieces.
“For me manipulating base raw materials into objects that speak volumes for themselves holds both a deep fascination and an untold satisfaction. The achievement does not come without its trials, but the victory is all the more sweet because of it.”
All prints are all archival, meaning they will last for well over 75 years. Most of his prints are reproduced on Hahnemühle Fine Art photo paper, regarded as one of the best photographic papers in the world. The majority of prints are printed using Giclée printing which reproduces incredible detail and brilliant colour, and has a higher resolution than traditional lithographic printing. All Limited Edition prints come with a Certificate of Authentication stating the print title, edition number, date of printing and are signed by the artist and stamped with his photographer's seal. The print itself is also titled, numbered and signed in pencil by the artist. All prints come with a pair of print handling gloves and a “Handling & Framing Your Print” instruction sheet.
Print sizes are quoted as the edge to edge dimensions of the paper itself, including the border around the image. Borders will vary according to the image dimensions, but will typically be between 1 to 2 ½ inches.
Each print will have a strict limitation to its edition run, plus a maximum of 2APs (Artist Proofs) marked 1/AP and 2/AP.
