Tropical Fish explores the themes of liquefaction, structure, brightness and augmented form. He is a handsome creature with his contrasty head, his splash of ochreous orange, his gleaming yellow flanks. Sometimes in the process of applying the enamel air bubbles enter and are trapped as the material sets. This would normally regarded as a flaw, but I have welcomed it here, a happy accident, one of those things that I find to be such an essential part of creative design – that element of the unexpected which ends up making perfect sense. So a bubble or two might find its way into Tropical Fish’s watery world as indeed you would expect.
