Artwork Description

The sea puts on a performance at Belmore Basin. On this day the swell rolled in hard off the Pacific, throwing white water high around the old Wollongong lighthouse while it stood, unmoved, through every break. I worked in black and white to strip the scene back to its bones — the drama is all in the contrast, the pale explosion of spray against the dark, heaving water and the steadfast tower holding its ground. There's something reassuring about a lighthouse in a big sea: a small, bright constant in all that chaos.

A signed and numbered limited-edition giclée print by award-winning Australian photographer John Wiseman — a dramatic black-and-white coastal statement for a living room, study, office or beach house, and a striking gift for lovers of the sea and the New South Wales coast.
