About the Artwork:
“The main inspiration for this piece came from a beautiful vintage illustration of Tethys Leporina, a species of Nudibranch which is a kind of sea slug. Nudibranchs are stunning and definitely among some of my favourite organisms! I love how all the time in nature you can find shapes and forms which are suggestive of something else. To me it implies a sort of deep and mysterious connection that all living things share.” – Catriona Secker
