Hi everyone
We have a beautiful exhibition on this month called “Serenas”. It consists of photographic images by Alejandro Rolandi taken underwater in natural light. They are haunting and sensual images of model, Lilly, photographed off the coast around Sydney. I am amazed at how serene Lilly looks even though she and Alejandro were diving just by holding their breaths. They must have good lungs…or maybe Lilly really is a mermaid.
The images are Giclee printed on a thick matte water colour paper and hand stained by Alejandro, giving them the mythical feel of captured images found in an old lost sea journal.
Alejandro made up the word Serenas, by combining Sirens and Serenity, because those words best described the sensations he was experiencing while observing the shots.
Alejandro says that “the water, and specially being underwater, triggers lost memories of our childhood, or perhaps even from when we were in our mother’s womb.”
Serenas is on until the end of the month, so don’t miss it.
I am really pleased to have added FINK Design to The Hive. I went out to their factory today and was shown the labour intensive process of turning aluminium into their signature anodised pieces. They also have some wonderful new designs, Sean Booth’s Candelabra and Oliver Smith’s Fatware that Fink have designed and produced in collaboration with these local silversmiths.
What a great wedding present or corporate gift an item of FINK design would make. It should be in store in the next week.
See you @ The Hive
Cheers
Jenny
