Natural Quatrefoilic Bloom

“Natural Quatrefoilic Bloom” is part of a comprehensive series of shell works manifesting beauty in symmetry, texture and homogeneity. This piece is the first enlarged version of the quatrefoil shape, much to the inspiration of Max Gilbert. Harmonising with the organic, petal-like attributes found in the symbol of a quatrefoil, the meticulous organisation of the shells simultaneously alludes to an evolution and a reincarnation through the rebirth of the ocean’s skeletons – a found beauty, beneath the feet of beach-goer, eroding, crushing and disintegrating into sand.
