Original artwork description
I am facinated by patterns and shapes in nature and love the movement, reflections and shimmer of fish swimming in shoals.
This is my tenth version of "The Golden One" (this has several golden ones and one blue one!) and the fifth version with koi carp.
The Koi in this piece are made from polymer clay, using the Mokume Gane method (an anchient decorative Japanese metal working technique), which involves pushing a patterned roller through several layers of different coloured clay then shaving through it to reveal the pattern.
Each fish has additional decoration with speckles in silver and gold made with high gloss liquid chromium makers, and they are raised up on tiny foam board pliths which add the three-dimensional effect and cast different shadows depending on where the light comes from.
I take a long time positioning my forms until I'm really happy with the whole, and then they are fixed to a white card backing ready for framing.
The whole piece is framed in a glazed (perspex) white deep box frame.
Materials used:
Polymer clay, high gloss liquid chromium makers, foam board, in a white deep box frame glazed with perspex
Details:
- Relief on Canvas
- One of a kind artwork
- Size: 37 x 37 x 6cm (framed) / 33.5 x 33.5cm (actual image size)
