“Roe the line” Sold

copper pellets, cooper threat, Venetian glass beads, nails, acrylic on wood

18″x 7″x 1.5″

 

This mixed media piece has been created for the Marblehead Festival of the Arts online auction where the proceeds go to student scholarships! Auction opens in June ( stayed tuned!) Each year 50+ artists are asked to create a cod. Everyone gets the same size/shape wooden cod and it is amazing to see all the originality and variety!  My cod is made out of copper pellets, copper thread, glass beads from Venice, nails on wood.  I wanted the title to give a suggestion to fish roe – I was intrigued with the beauty of the copper pellets and how they suggest fish eggs!
