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. The Blue Tang is a member of a family of fish called durgeonfish. Covering a huge area, this animal can be fround from New York to Brazil. The word tang refers to sharp spines along each side which are said to resemble the scalpel of a surgeon. The artist captures the bright blues and stark blacks that make this species so recognizable and popular. Dimensions: 13in x 1in x 7in
