Whales are a part of the dreaming of various mobs throughout Australia. As we travel, the animals that visit our Country remind us of our connection to culture and our place in the world. Growing up on Gunditjmara Country, Lowell had the privilege of swimming and bodyboarding where the Whales would come to birth their young calves every year. As a young boy Lowell was taught the Whale Dance which strengthened his spiritual and cultural understanding of the connection between these beautiful creatures and the Peek Whurrong and Kirrae Whurrong peoples of the Maar Nation. In travelling back to his Country in the Kimberley, Lowell learnt how the Whales pass through these waters down to the southern coastline. The artwork is a representation of the whale dreaming of these two beautiful places combining as one in this impressive piece.
This piece was created on Wadawurrung Country at Bancoora Beach in Victoria.
Each Salty One artwork print is part of a limited release, which means your purchase is unique and retains its authenticity and value as it will only ever be printed a certain number of times. Each piece is issued with an edition number and artist’s signature that is provided on a certificate of authenticity with each piece.
All artwork is printed locally at a Fine Art Printing Studio in Geelong, Victoria. The artwork is printed using world-class materials on the finest substrates.
Salty One artwork is available on your choice of substrate: Cotton Rag or Canvas.
Fine Art Cotton Rag: Cotton rag is an archival quality printing medium. It is a type of paper that is made from cotton fibres rather than wood pulp and, as a result, is superior in both strength and durability. Our cotton rag prints also use archival quality ink, meaning that your finished artwork will have vivid colour and depth, never fading and lasting a lifetime! As it is a paper, cotton rag prints must be framed behind glass.
Canvas: Canvas is a sturdy material that can be framed with or without glass. The canvas we use for our artwork is a high quality cotton/polyester blend canvas with a smooth woven pattern. The archival life of our canvas prints is 120-150 years! Our canvas prints are available framed or unframed. If you selected a framed artwork, it will be expertly stretched and then framed without glass and is able to be shipped Australia wide.
Whilst there is a series of set sizes for Salty One artworks, most can adapted and printed in custom size requests to suit your space. Custom Canvases are available unframed or framed. Please enquire here for custom size requests.

Cotton Rage must be framed behind glass to ensure longevity, however we only provide cotton rag prints unframed. If you purchase a smaller print you may find a ready-made frame that will suit and choose to frame the print yourself. Please note, it is important to handle cotton rags prints as little as possible so do not remove it from its shipping packaging until it is ready to be framed, and only touch the print on the outer edges to prevent damage. If you have chosen a larger work, a professional framer is your best option and again, please remember to deliver it to your framer without removing it from its packaging to prevent damage.
