In the peace and quiet of a starry night by the seaside, a nautilus shell crests a wave as a bright star winks in the sky. Symbolic of the calming effect of the sea brings, and the sound of the sea that can often be heard through a shell, this is a very soothing painting, perfect to keep by your bedside for sweet dreams.
I used silk dyes and metallic paint to create the design on pure silk, and then framed it in the embroidery hoop, finishing off the back neatly with gathered fabric.
The spiral nature of the nautilus is a symbol of the beauty of nature, reflecting life and internal harmony, the outwardly curving line epitomising movement and evolution.
