Golden Arrow- new etching

Golden Arrow, 5" x 7", etching and aquatint, 2014.

I called this piece "Golden Arrow" after the Polychaete creatures that live in the deep abyssal plains. The forms of their bodies can vary greatly among species and some may even swim amongst plankton. Arrows can function as signs, symbols, tools, and also as weapons. I like the idea that an arrow could point somewhere fantastical and that the arrow point usually plays a role in determining the function.
