Dana means hunter, and this mask embodies a figure whose importance extends far beyond hunting itself. Dogon hunters traditionally possessed the weapons, knowledge of the bush and mobility necessary to operate beyond the security of the settlement. The elders described their historical role to us as protectors: guarding people, livestock and precious water sources in an isolated landscape where formal authority could be far away. The mask carries that identity into the dama, mimicking the movements of the hunter during the dance. Most arresting of all are the teeth set into its mouth. We were told that they are human — transforming the carved face into something that contains a physical trace of human life.

841 × 594 mm
Printed on 315 g/m², 100% cotton archival fine art paper, each photograph is individually proofed, printed and inspected under the artist’s supervision.
Each work is signed, numbered and embossed with the artist’s stamp, and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity.
The numbered Exhibition Editions have not yet been released.
Framing
Each Exhibition Edition and Artist’s Proof is archivally mounted onto an acid-free substrate, ensuring the photograph remains perfectly flat while providing additional protection and longevity.
The work is double mounted, retaining a considered white border, and presented within a handcrafted hardwood box frame.
Museum-grade, optically clear, anti-reflective glass sourced from Switzerland completes the presentation, providing 99% UV protection while preserving the clarity, colour and detail of the photograph.

ARCHITECTURAL PRINTS
Selected photographs from the collection may also be commissioned as Architectural Prints, custom-produced for residential, commercial, hospitality and interior installations.
Created specifically for the space in which they will be seen, Architectural Prints can be produced in custom dimensions and a range of contemporary presentation formats, including Diasec, acrylic and aluminium mounting.
In these formats, the photographic image becomes an integral part of the finished piece, permanently bonded to its presentation and intended to remain as such.
Architectural Prints are unsigned and unnumbered and exist entirely outside the limited Exhibition Editions and Artist’s Proofs.
Please enquire to discuss dimensions, presentation and pricing.
