Harefield, July 2011
Ben Roberts
To coincide with the publication of ‘The Seventh Zone’ as a zine with Another Place Press, I’m releasing the cover image, taken in July 2011 in Harefield, as a limited edition print in two sizes.
Photographed over 3 years, ‘The Seventh Zone’ is an appreciation of nature that is hidden in plain sight, of the rhythms of life on the edge of a city, and an examination of the friction that occurs when urban sprawl meets the countryside.
I found this location on one of a series of walks through London’s periphery – the scene depicts water cascading from the manmade Grand Union Canal into the natural course of the River Colne.
This photograph is printed on Hahnemühle Photo Rag. This white cotton artist’s paper, with its characteristic, wonderfully soft feel, boasts a lightly defined felt structure, lending each artwork a three-dimensional appearance and impressive pictorial depth. Combined with a matt premium inkjet coating, this paper produces outstanding prints that feature brilliant colours, deep blacks, striking contrasts and perfect reproduction of detail. The paper is acid and lignin free, meeting the most exacting requirements for age resistance.
Prints are produced at The Printspace in London, and are accompanied by a signed certificate of authenticity.
