"Sculpin." Inkpen on paper superimposed over photograph, digitally enhanced, 8" x 14".
Some people call the sculpin an ugly fish. "Ugly" is a judgement thrown by those at things they have no room for. The sculpin asks not for room. She would rather hide, perched on her elbows, in her water. She keeps secrets. When given a rare glimpse of something, as when a fish jumps, it may be difficult to appreciate. Most of the universe's beauty is introverted. Listen carefully. Find the beauty.
So beautifully said.
