Metamorphose

The historic images of “Snowflake” Bentley and modern digital technology come together in our Expression Series.   From the easy, downward motion of “Gravity”,  to the whimsical  movements of “Exuberance”, these  modern montages depict Bentley’s snowflakes in free flight.  “Metamorphose”,  imagines the glorious transformation of a snow crystal carried out by the impulses of wind and weather. Prints are reproduced using a new metallic photograph paper that gives a silvery cast to the snowflakes.  Each print is matted and framed to meet archival standards and comes with a Bentley Info/Certificate of Authenticity.
