Progress of Love Long Gone

Pure pigments mixed in various sections with gesso or createx binder. Sea grass created with acrylic paint. the backing still needs to be attached. 70″ x 70″. When one looks carefully the shibori dyeing on the body of the fish is very visible. I did a series of fish with kissy type lips and this is a remnant of that series, which I never completed. I am attempting to tie up the numerous projects I have begun but not finished. I still have a glass top table which I am doing in tandem with the new fire felted piece.
This is hanging in my bathroom beside a huge glass block window, which is burning out some of the color in this piece–not in reality just in the photograph. I will get it to the studio for a controled lighting photo shoot however the time frame is unpredictable.

It’s a lovely piece. There’s a tension in what looks (to me) like the fish struggling hard to get momentum upwards.

I didn’t know that about fish. The knowledge adds a touch of melancholy, and a meaning to the title that I’d missed.
