went for a walk back through India Point today.
started messing around with these images I brought back, remembering gum bichromate printing--a color layering 19th century antique photographic process. I want to keep exploring different color pallets on my down time-- y'know, that GD life.
chasing precious animals
octopus pendant, chased 24 gauge copper plate with black and brownpatina, 2014. |
pregnant fish pendant, chased 20 gauge copper with brown patina 2014. |
jellyfish object, chased 24 gauge copper with black and brown patina 2014. |
Jellyfish, too, are a type of plankton.These small metal objects in hand make a tactile relationship to these creatures. I can see a number of these jelly sculptures as a series representing the growth cycles from polyp to medusa, the commonly known bell-shaped stage (above). Possibly some microscopic video footage that I've collected of their movements and closeups of their gelatinous clear surface to contrast textures and scale. |
