This etching is from a photograph I took of a whales ear bone from the zoological collections of the Grant Museum in London. Removed from its scientific context and isolated against a deep black ground, the bone becomes a sculptural form.
The intricate surface records a lifetime of growth beneath the sea, revealing textures and markings that speak to both the immense scale of the whale and the intimate anatomy hidden within it. The image explores the meeting point of natural history and abstraction, inviting the viewer to contemplate an object that is rarely seen, yet profoundly evocative.
