thank you I have plenty of thinking to do now about which one!
La catalina does have a very fluid shape with lots of movement -
different from a water drop shape - the slightly thinner end does finish like a fish tail and with the blue tones is very dolphin like.
My work is all sculptural mixed media paintings and I will post a picture(s) when they are completed.
The black mabe also look very interesting, as my mixed media up to date has included a tryptych made out of natural rubber, crude oil, silver and jet (framed in monkey puzzle wood). Although the pearl painting has more to do with the topsy turvy idea of water under the sand (untapped water under the desert) and all the colours that are associated.
I try to bring a balance and mirror the elements that have been with us for millennia and have been through a process of metamorphosis.
The pearl is particularly interesting to me because of its 'conception'. Out of all the different ways of metamorphosis this is quite beautifully unique.
many thanks for this help!
