'APEX' FINDS A UNIQUE HOME WITH ERNEST STUDIOS
In the world of photography, Tal Lemmens stands out as an international award-winning artist, known for his breathtaking images that capture the beauty and power of the sea. His work not only graces the walls of exhibitions but also finds a home in the hearts of those who appreciate the artistry and magnificence of the ocean. Today, Tal shares a recent collaboration that goes beyond the photograph itself – the stunning framing of, "Apex," by Craig at Ernest Studios, who was commissioned by New Ethic Electrical.
Craig at Ernest Studios, is a skilled craftsman renowned for his custom framing expertise, who created a one-of-a-kind timber frame for Apex.
Craig's vision and craftsmanship shine through in the bespoke frame he meticulously designed. Salvaged pieces of messmate timber, discovered on the streets of Footscray in Melbourne, form the foundation of this exquisite frame. The decision to repurpose and breathe new life into these weathered timbers aligns perfectly with Tal’s commitment to sustainability.
Craig's signature mirror sidewalls add an extra layer of brilliance to the frame, reflecting the artwork and creating an illusion of endless depth. The frame tells a story of its own, with deep features of oxidation, showcasing the timber's journey through time. Whether it endured the elements on the streets of Melbourne or spent a century in someone's roof, each mark contributes to the frame's unique character.
The collaboration between New Ethic Electrical, Ernest Studios, and Tal Lemmens exemplifies the power of art to transcend boundaries. The fusion of ocean photography, sustainable values, and bespoke craftsmanship has resulted in a masterpiece that not only captures the essence of the ocean but also tells a story of innovation and collaboration. As Tal Lemmens continues to inspire through his lens, the collaboration with Craig at Ernest Studios becomes a testament to the limitless possibilities when creativity and craftsmanship unite.
