Peace

It is a remarkable fact that everything that exists and happens in nature is a result of forces acting on matter. Nothing in nature moves (or, more strictly, changes its motion) without being acted on by a force exerted by another system. When all the forces acting in a particular system balance out, the system is said to be at equilibrium, and all changes in motion cease. All activity in the cosmos tends towards equilibrium, although due to many imbalances in the distribution of energy it remains in a state of perpetual change, even if local areas are relatively peaceful.  

The original image shown in this work uses metallic pigments alongside more traditional inks and paints in the marbling process. The metallic pigment is difficult to work with as it tends not to stick well to the paper and sometimes the most satisfying compositions are lost during the final washing process. In this case, the lustre of the gold contrasts highly with the deep black at the centre of the vortex which, on close inspection, contains a miniature cosmos.

Posters are sold unframed. Examples of framed posters are shown here for illustration purposes at 40 x 30 cm (16 x 12 inches), 60 x 45 cm (24 x 18 inches), and 80 x 60 cm (32 x 24 inches).

Materials:

• Printed on premium archival museum-quality paper.
• The 250 gsm/ 110lb paper is perfect for fine art, designed to last for years without losing its original beauty. Our matte paper is uncoated and natural white (off-white).
• With alkaline papermaking technology, this poster is acid-free, meaning the pH of the pulp that is used to form the paper is above 7 (neutral). The paper is also buffered with an alkaline reserve, such as calcium carbonate, to neutralize acid compounds absorbed from the atmosphere or formed through natural aging. This ensures that your poster will last many years without any yellowing or discolouration.
• Our poster is free from or low in OBA (optical brightener additives). This ensures that the natural white colour of the paper remains consistent under different lighting conditions. In contrast, the colour of papers that contain optical brighteners can shift depending on the light source. Additionally, the colour of OBA-free paper remains more consistent over time so that you can enjoy the poster for years without any shifts.
• We use FSC-certified paper or equivalent certifications depending on regional availability. It’s better for the people and the planet.
• Each poster is shipped in robust packaging, ensuring it arrives safe and secure.
• Paper sizes may vary slightly by region. For the US and Canada, the measurement is in inches, while for the rest of the world, it is in centimetres.
