Bigger Fish....

During the typography unit, I looked at some cave-paintings and experimented with using a fish shaped sponge to create the idea of a shoal swimming over the canvas/cave wall.

I loved the look of this and wanted to try the same idea but on a larger scale (pardon the pun!).

I decided to use more earthy/neutral colours this time and I think it worked very well...

 

I like the almost monochrome colour range and the peaceful atmosphere created by the simple wave across the canvas.

 

  

A friend of mine gave me the idea to use rope to frame the canvas so that it looked like the fish were swimming into a net. I am still thinking over the different options for attaching it as it is quite a stiff rope. However, I don't know yet whether I should put rope around the edges or just leave it as the canvas.

 

 

Any ideas....
