Sink Prints
Sinks, dirty with left over tempera paint, were the basis of Sink Prints. Large sheets of paper were placed on top and a “print” would be made. After it dried, various images “appeared” which were then enhanced with pastels.

Time and Tide Bell #200Fish Rock Cook Fish
The fish looks in disbelief at the two plastic bottles and small metal toy truck and one plastic cap that have been tossed haphazardly, by humans, into the ocean, not thinking of what this is doing to the ocean's environment. This particular combination of items is to show the debris that are rapidly become common place in the Earth's oceans.
A Rock Cook (also known as 'small mouth wrasse') is a colourful small-sized fish found living among seaweed beds located throughout the ocean waters of Britain and Ireland as well as in the eastern Atlantic from Norway to Portugal and Greenland. It eats various crustaceans and is considered a 'cleaner fish' since it removes ectoparasites from other fish. It is ironic that this fish is a 'cleaner fish', taking care of other fish, yet must live in a polluted ocean, due to the thoughtless humans with whom it shares its environment..
