GLAUKONOME / The Nereid of the ‘Mastering the Grey’ sea

This ornamental composition acts as a visual representation of the subject matter. A solid, strong form at the centre — surrounded by a configured ‘wall’ — holding back and gradually controlling the complexity of the vast multi layered ‘Grey’ Sea.

Commissioned by Karoline Newman as a response to ‘Simon Lewty & The Nereids’ at The Lettering arts Trust, Snape Maltings, Suffolk.

Depictions of the ‘Mythical Nereids’ created by 26 Artists represented by the Lettering Arts Trust.
