I initially wanted to create a background for a mobile by Alexander Calder entitled "Fish" 1944, Hirshhorn Museum.
So I started tearing out pages from A Golden Nature Guide entitled:
SEASHORES
A Guide to Shells, Sea Plants, Shore Birds, and Other Natural Features of American Coasts
After I assembled the background I thought Calder's "Fish" would DISTRACT from the ABSTRACT I had just created!
Wow! So much going on down in Davy Jones Locker! Excellent!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteI love the way the lines on the sea surface and the sea-bed, continue across totally different elements... looks like it might be giving the octopus a headache though, trying to keep up with those ever-changing environments!
ReplyDeleteThat's a funny observation (about Mr. Octopus)! yeah, this was a happy accident. I usually agonize over abstract and I made one quite by accident!
