(Not) a drop in the ocean
I took the title from the album All strings detached. The title itself is telling. I worked with pearls many years ago when I was working with human skin imprints. At that time they were in the context of missing pearls. Now I have depicted pearls that have come out of the body. I used Akoya pearls, South Sea and Tahitian pearls, silver and gold.
Remember Lavanda
