Over the years, I have put aside trash to include in my work to question our environmental impact. This year I am working on a new series of plastic bottles which I painted with jewel-like metallic paints.
This specific teal colored one made me think of the ocean, which became its theme. I started to sculpt the fire coral and since I wanted orange as the complimentary color to this dark turquoise bottle, I created miniature clown fishes to populate this environment.
