These mixed media pieces are highly reflective and change with the ambient light - much like fish in the ocean flash their luminescent colors. These unique works are created with different varieties of shell veneer, including abalone, and gold leaf. The gold leaf, which can vary from silver to gold and variegated colors, is applied and hand-colored with stains and inks in multiple layers, essentially painting with it – a time-laborious process. The thin fragile sheets of shell are also hand-tinted. In dim lighting they give off a quiet glow.
