Flying Forest (33)

Stereohype's Fine Art Giclée Prints are printed on demand on super-elegant Hahnemühle German Etching Textured 310gsm. This is one of Hahnemühle's genuine artist papers, mould made, 100% acid free paper with an exceptionally smooth surface. This velvety heavyweight etching board has a fine surface texture. German Etching is one of the most popular media for artwork and photography. The paper is made of 100% cotton or pure alpha cellulose presenting a textured surface that allows high quality printing. Artworks are printed with archival inks – a ten colour ink set including orange and greens for vivid and long-lasting results.

You can't cut down this forest – it's floating. A forest without roots – ongoing experimental series of visuals created by painstakingly merging treetop photographs taken from below. The tree trunks are hidden however in order to create the illusion of a floating or flying forest that can effectively not be cut down. This version – Flying Forest (33) – was stitched together using a whopping thirty-three separate photographs. Hang portrait or landscape.
