Hello,
I am tring to source a pearl for a sculptural painting, the idea of which is;
Representative of the womb like environment of its growth. It is about displacement, and in a wider sense, growth from this. 'Beauty' out of an alien form or experience.
The space of the canvas creates the feel of a vast mother or womb like nurturing environment, initial irritation is cause of this 'nurturing' the vastness of the canvas against the size of the pearl to give 'vertiginous' big/small fragility and subsequent durability and beauty formed out of this initial irritant.
I know very little about different types of pearl, apart from what I have read, but one thing I feel, is, that the pearl does not necessarily have to be the 'perfect' specimen more over an imperfect 'beauty' would be more appropriate.
if any one has an idea of where I can source an imperfect, natural (prefereably) pearl or has any information about the nature/history/ location of imperfect forms I would be very interested to hear.
