Coral

2/7/2014

A very inspiring object: a friend brought this beautiful coral back to London from the Caribbean for me several years ago. She said it just 'looked like the sort of thing I would like', and she was right. It has never far from my side since (it's got to be about 15 years now). I refer to it a lot in my drawing in one way or another. At the moment I am particularly interested in the complexity of the finning which follows the main structures and join together to make something like lace.

Welcome to my journal! It's my work diary. I usually post here once a week on Monday, but there are often 'mid-week bonus' posts consisting of things which fascinate me such as growing carrot tops and avocado pits, anything weird, and news items.
