This
is our "REEF DESIGN" series, all painted on silk.
The artwork was inspired by observing bits of coral, shells, and
other sea life
while snorkelling over some of Fiji's magnificent reefs.
Using a magnifying glass, I observed details of texture and pattern
and wove them into the designs to create a 'patchwork' effect.
Each Reef Design comes with a key, (see sample below)
explaining what kind of crustacean, fish, mollusc, etc.
is depicted in each segment of the composition.
Customes who have bought sets of Reef Designs from us say
they make a great focus for some lively coffee-table discussions!
(Please note that the background colors on Reef Designs
I and IV are ultra-violet and black.
I cannot get these colors to show properly using my very basic camera
and image processing software,
and the results look muddy compared to the real thing!)
