Volcanoes are one of the earth’s great contradictions. They are both destructive and generative. A rupture that forms new land; a furnace where matter is broken down and remade. Ash & Ember reflects that tension. It holds both fragility and force in the same frame.
In this series of limited edition prints, Ash & Ember captures the raw aftermath of volcanic force; violent, unplanned, and ultimately transformative. Rather than depicting eruptions directly, the works lean into their residue: scorched colour, layered texture, and the trace of heat. Molten reds, sulphurous yellows, deep cinder blacks and receding blue skies. These works resist definition. They exist in a shifting space; part image, part event; somewhere between arrival and disappearance.

"The work doesn’t reach for control; it leans into change."
Each piece sit in the aftermath, not the spectacle. They carry the idea of Amor Fati, a willingness to accept whatever comes, without resistance. Like scorched earth after eruption, what remains isn’t about loss or triumph. It’s simply what’s left. The work doesn’t reach for control; it leans into change.
These works don’t offer resolution. They reflect the way natural forces move: sudden, violent, often outside of control. But from that disturbance, something always shifts. What remains isn’t what was there before, but it belongs just the same.
Rather than capturing one instant, the works gather fragments of what has been and what is yet to settle. Past eruptions. Future terrain. A present moment caught in motion. Even in collapse, there is the trace of what could follow. From ash, something always rises.
Edition details
Each edition is a multi-layered UV pigment print on Somerset paper, produced by Make-Ready, a leading fine art printer London. The layering process separates key elements of the composition, creating a sense of depth and material contrast across the surface. Each piece is housed in a bespoke frame by Lord & Duplooy, using museum-grade materials, powder-coated aluminium framing and anti-reflective, UV-protective glass to preserve colour and texture in all lighting conditions. The series is produced in an edition of 25, with 5 artist’s proofs, each signed on the verso.
