Description
Title: Flower Urchin I (Flos Echinum I)
Size: 12″ x 12″ x 2″ cradled birch panel
Media: Encaustic wax, demar resin, pastel, acrylic, satin and wire on birch cradle
I build my works to raise awareness and inform about the effects of warming oceans and the disastrous resulting action on sea life and the food chain. Made purposely to be something easy to look at and hang in your home without being difficult like a lot of eco-art. This can help to inform the public what is happening at the bottom of the world’s oceans and at the same time, show a creature that is being systemically degraded over time without public and private conservation efforts.
Distribution: Indo-Pacific, East and South Africa to Australia, Indonesia, Philippines
This reinterpretation of a sea animal that looks like individual harmless flower blossoms and buds, but has deadly consequences for humans if stung.
