A Lovecraftian Deep Sea Creature
This is a hand sculpted, flameworked glass sculpture that I also created a skin over with silicone and painted using oils. The concept was based on a the lovecraftian fascination with non- Euclidean geometry, the basic shape of the fish is very planar, and alike many of his monsters the limbs and usual recognisable features are a little more ambiguous. I wanted it to be something that really lay in the uncanny valley, so the undertones are quite rich blues, but the skin overtone and textures rest somewhere between flesh and coral like aspects. 0
