Moutohorā Island Sunrise

Moutohorā shelters a major breeding colony of grey-faced petrels, seabirds that nest in burrows rather than on exposed ledges. Research following the removal of rats and rabbits recorded a substantial increase in the colony. The familiar island silhouette conceals an active nesting landscape, much of its seabird life taking place beneath the ground.

Created with Apertured Media, this sunrise places Moutohorā’s distinctive outline against the changing light of the Bay of Plenty sky. The dark island gives the composition its centre of gravity. Colour around the horizon carries the quiet anticipation of a coast at the beginning of the day.

Printed on 230gsm smooth matte archival-quality paper, with a smooth, non-glossy finish.

Pigment-based, UV-stable archival inks reproduce the colours and fine details of the original digital artwork. Each giclée print is produced in New Zealand.
