Seven sardines rendered in rich cobalt blue swim horizontally across a cream background, their bodies filled with delicate linear patterns and scales, arranged in a stacked composition that echoes the rhythm of the checkerboard grid above them. The work combines bold graphic illustration with intricate line work, creating a balance between the ordered geometry of the checkered pattern and the organic flowing forms of the fish. Crafted from durable canvas-like poly-poplin and made to order, double-stitched with a cotton webbing strap. The everyday haul, from groceries to the beach, carrying an independent artist's work.
