~ Art Supplies used


Art Supplies:


black gesso
acrylics
masking tape
gel pen
pitt pen
rubber stamps


The inspiration for this piece came from a report about a dead Queensland Giant Groper, normally found in the ocean, being found in a river. He was 2.2m long and was 37 years old. I was awestruck by the groper when I saw one in the aquarium, it looked so prehistoric.

I made the fish with masking tape and put some folds into the tape on purpose to give it some depth and bulk.

Then I invented a little story to go with my page and added the "ancestral ghosts" fish skeleton stamps.
