Shells of Venus: Cosmic Illusion #19

Salli McQuaid: Shells of Venus, 22"w x 23"h, 2008. Detail: R.

Artist's Statement

Shells of Venus began with thread. I free-form quilted some vines on a watery batik. They made me think of how it must look like undersea on Venus. So I added a sheer digital thread photograph of one of my drawings at the top and other shells and imagery to express what my imagination was telling me.
