The fingerlike branches of Lake Derby, Tasmania

Lake Derby, the town known to avid mountain bike riders. This is a loop that even I could manage, with my very basic skills, but this time I was on foot with camera in tow. These branches look like fingers to me, reaching into the dark lake, grabbing at what’s underneath.

If you are buying for a mountain bike fan, send me a message as I have some other photos of the actual trails.

A black frame is also available, please leave a note at checkout if you’d like this option.

Details

Limited edition of 100 prints. Each print comes with a signed certificate of authenticity.

Printed on 310gsm 100% cotton rag museum grade archival paper, which is archival quality and guaranteed not to fade or bleed for up to 100 years.

Printed and framed by hand in Melbourne.

The timber shadowbox frames are made from sustainably sourced Victorian Ash, with 3mm museum grade Plexiglas (which is lighter than glass, protects from UV damage and is shatter proof). They are finished with a wire so are ready to be hung straight out of the box.

Sustainability

Are sustainable materials used to produce your fine art prints?

Yes - the frames are produced from locally-sourced Victorian ash which has been certified by the Forest Stewardship Council. FSC certification provides the highest level of protection for rare and endangered forests and wildlife, and is the only system that mandates consultation with local Indigenous Peoples.

The prints themselves are a 310gsm 100% cotton rag, which is considered the most environmentally photographic paper as it doesn't use any tree fibres. Instead, it is produced from a recycled by-product of the textile making industry. While the cotton industry itself isn't very environmentally friendly - the cotton rag paper is a by-product and therefore is considered to have a low environmental impact as no cotton is grown specifically to make the paper stock.

In addition to this, the prints are made to last - they are museum quality which means they will be protected for over 100 years.

What do you use to package the prints for shipping?

Packages are wrapped with Polycell EcoPure, a biodegradable bubble wrap alternative which is designed to degrade plastic in a landfill overtime. Frames are shipped in cartons from 3BC stock which is comprised of 77% recycled content and 33% from FSC certified kraft fibres that are sourced from Gippsland in Victoria.

Is the shipping carbon neutral?

Sure is!
