On a recent trip to an aquarium I was captivated by the tranquil flow of the jellyfish. The way they move so elegantly through the water I believe really encapsulates the theme of ebb and flow.

Artist Statement - Big Fat Red Low Slung Moon

Blatantly copied (with consent) from a piece by friend and fellow artist Kate Fensom.
The fish swish and swirl following the ebb & flow of the tides which are governed by the moon. Every good fisherman knows the best catches are at moonrise and moonset.
Glass on MDF.....the varying colours in the glass lend themselves to the ever changing tones in the sea and moon. Iridescent glass for the fish brings out the idea of shiny scales glistening in the moonlight.

My mosaic was inspired by Pattie Masterman’s poem, Mermaid’s Moon

The freehand technique I use means that although highly repetitive in the use of the materials, no two pieces of work are exactly the same.
