Description:
A seruca is a special type of screen which is similar to a gold pan, but has stainless steel window-screen wire in the bottom, and is round bottomed. After miners with help of water screen out the over-sized material, there are only small stones left, and the heavy minerals eventually being concentrated on the screen bottom. What caught my eye was the color contrast of the water and the mud, it was just incredible.

Prints are made using Epson UltraChrome pigment inks on a 7 inks Epson Stylys Photo printer on archival Innova FibaPrint White Semi-Matte 300 gsm paper, which is one of the highest-quality fine-art photographic papers today. In connection with Epson UltraChrome Ink it exhibits superior sharpness and color, and is expected to last over 100 years on display before noticeable fading occurs. Cotton gloves were used while handling the prints not to leave any fingerprints or scratches. Would you like more information about fine art prints?
