Artist's Comments
Inspired by a visit to Southern Japan a few years ago, this piece has taken over 4 months to complete (Dimensions are roughly 1m x 1.5m... it's almost as tall as me!).
Never again will I attempt a project so physically huge. It's taken 3 or 4 attempts but finally I'm happy to hang this one on the wall. I've tried to capture the movement of the koi through both the guilding outlines and background, whilst trying to keep an asian feel to the whole piece... in Japan these fish are absolutely everywhere in the river system. Acrylic and guilding on Canvas. The guilding paper is offcuts of both silver and gold. *edited 11/7/2005 because someone informed me of the CORRECT spelling  * |

"just your ordinary average everyday sane psycho super goddess" - liz phair
That is huge. How tall are you?!
I like the simple background of circles, each the same, yet slighty different. It creates a very nice texture.
But I really like the flames (thats what I think they are...), they look awesome!
The dark red and black silhouettes, the bright gold shimmers coming from them, the shape and position of them, it looks beautiful.
Come to think about it, they look like carp (the fish, not a typo) in a pond.
A pond on fire.
Really cool work, Marian!
