Paua, Copyright © 2008 by Sandra Reid
Paua is an artwork that took many hours to create as once I had created the initial shape I had trouble visualising where I was going to head with this. So I filed the idea away for around 6 months before I looked at it again. Once again I struggled to find a clear direction for the artwork so I would only work on it sporadically.
After many months I was finally happy with the depth and dimension I had created with the shape but then had the challenge of creating a suitable background that would enhance the 3D illusion of the shape. Time and patience eventually paid off and this is now one of my favourite artworks.
The colours in this artwork were inspired by the beautiful colours of the paua shell, hence the name Paua. This web picture really does not do this lovely piece of art justice as the background is a very subtle pale blue.
