A still-life charcoal study of a Bryozoan.
Bryozoa are a colony of small aquatic animals (Zooids), that form hard limestone structures which can resemble coral.

There are thousands of species but this Lacey variety is one I often find only fragments of, due to its fragile structure. This drawing is a more complete structure, where you really get an idea of the repetitious methodical way in which the structure is formed.

As always this piece was challenging. Specifically here, paying attention to the small details, which at first seem random but actually are aligned in a specific way so that rows appear in every direction. These subtle rows then also curve and bend together as the surface curves like the shape of a petal.
These structures are fragile, but this is a strong presentation of texture supported by focal depth.

This is an original artwork by Chris Summer and comes fully framed.
