Elegant Fish Art

Perhaps not at first, but by the second and third look this papier-mache fish evinces a subtle sophistication and unique vision that make it well worth the $2 I spent on it.


The well-executed lines, the complex interplay between complementary colors and the seemingly random 'dots', the many fins: they all just seem to, shall we say, flow together so well.


Diving even deeper, if I may, I sense a latent commentary on the suffocating weight of modern life, the endless feeding frenzy from which the only escape seems to be, paradoxically, to retreat ever deeper into the darkness of the abyss. (That might just be me though.)

Anyway. Thought I'd share. 10"
