Aquatic is painted on six walls and four columns along the North and South sides of the utility building in Port Stanley’s Main beach. The design was inspired by a range of different aquatic life forms and textures associated with beaches and bodies of water. Influenced by imagery of reefs, porifera, jellyfish, large schools of tiny fish, sand, water ripples, and pebbles, my intention was to evoke these qualities without being tied to or representative of any particular location or species. I wanted the artwork to feel more ethereal, and to allow for multiple interpretations of the different shapes and forms. While some of the colours and shading effects create a sense of looking at living things underwater, they are contrasted against areas of flat colour defined with hard edges akin to graphic or digital art, hinting at a duality of natural and artificial things co-existing in a kind of tension or equilibrium.
