The Pool

A Woman enters a pool on a moonlit evening and cradles a Fish in her hands. The fish releases roe ( in the form of tiny garnets) into the water. An image of a Hunter appears on its side.

Above the Woman's head there plays music across the skies and this same music is echoed in the V of her loins in the cool waters.

In Celtic culture to eat a certain fish, usually a salmon, is to gain esoteric knowledge. In many other cultures as well, eating a fish is associated with a deity, or with fertility.

Acrylic and coffee on paper and silk, with glass beads, garnets, paua shells, pearls and peacock feathers. I will measure this painting and update later today.
