Palm Etch 8 - Single Picture Frame Print on Canvas

The title 'This New Life' echoes that of the dystopian novel 'Brave New World' by Aldous Huxley. The vision is of a performer on stage, at the bottom of the sea or weightless on the moon, their head encased in a bubble of green glass or liquid - to help them breathe. The spiral on the shell is a symbol of the universe, the shape of a spiral galaxy. The incredible detail of the individual strands of a feather mesmerises and create a state of contemplation of the beauty of the natural world and its patterns and structures.
