* DETAILS
While our recommended frame color and border or bleed choice is what we feel best complements the art and vision of the artist, by all means, choose a look that best complements your style and space.
Paper Size: Is based on Full Bleed and adding a border will change the aspect ratio, so paper size may adjust slightly smaller.
Glazing: To eliminate reflective glare, our biggest work (70″ to 80″ on the long side) is protected by an archival laminate in lieu of acrylic. Up to 60″ on the long side is protected by UV acrylic.
Border: If the framed image above is showing a white border, then clicking on Full Bleed will not show what full bleed looks like. We only show how a border will look. Your choice will appear on your order. The border on work up to 40″ x 60″ is about 2.5″ and about 3.5″ on our biggest work.
Frame Color: Clicking on Frame Color will not change the color of the frame, but your choice will appear on your order.
Frames: Our frames are custom made from robust solid wood Studio moulding, 2″ deep with a 3/4″ face width and joined at the corners with butterfly joints.
Orientation: Some work can be displayed either horizontal or vertical—should you wish to change orientation, please contact us and we’ll place the D-rings accordingly and confirm via email.
We print exclusively on Hahnemühle 100% Cotton Photo Rag Baryta paper and museum shadowbox frame in solid wood, Studio moulding handcrafted in a robust, contemporary profile preferred by galleries and museums worldwide.

Hypnagogia refers to the transitional state between wakefulness and sleep. During this period of threshold consciousness, people can encounter a number of unusual phenomena, such as lucid dreaming, hallucinations, sleep paralysis, and other multi-modal sensory experiences. My work often attempts to play with notions of the real/unreal, and to explore the space photography occupies somewhere in between. In this sense, the hypnagogic state is analogous to the transitional position of photography; somewhere between art and science, between truth and fiction. In this series, I allowed a particularly vivid episode of sleep paralysis to inform the images, hoping to capture something of the phantasmic quality of the experience in a sequence that combines both staged and spontaneous photographs with intense colours in search of that elusive half-wakeful state.
