DESCRIPTION
The basic frame of the wall fish is created using tin, which is powder coated as a black finish. The frame is reinforced using wrought iron wire along the inner edge. Capiz is an oyster shell and the primary purpose of the oyster is as a source of food. However, the by-product, the shell, can be used for decoration. Due to it being a natural material, the natural colors of the capiz can come through as tans and browns underneath the paint.This fish was inspired by the Copperband Butterfly Fish. Though the name is a mouthful, the artist did capture the strips, colors, broad fins, and the beak that this fish is known for. The blue and pearl swirls contrast with its deeper bronze fins. Those fins are further enhanced with a swirled design, creating a very complex piece. The results is a piece rich in design and color. Dimensions: 12in x 1in x 9in
