Fish

The purpose of the one Black Fish...

The one black goldfish is most important since its purpose is to absorb any negative energy that enters your home. The Black Goldfish therefore becomes a symbol of protection. If the black fish dies without any known cause, such as under-oxygenated water, over-feeding or a lack of food, it is believed that the fish died from absorbing bad luck that was meant for you.

YouTube video of Kelly making a Black Goldfish

"Layers and chemical reactions are primary in my use of color. I work with the memory of knowing how different colors interact with each other in good and bad ways. I liken it to dance or yoga or swimming--activities I love--sometimes pushing myself to the very edge. With my heart pounding, and covered in sweat, I realize there is a fine line between success and failure, and knowing I have pushed myself to that very edge, has used every last ounce of my agility and skill."

"It is amazing how many times I have skipped a moment, become distracted or let my guard down and watched my piece crash to the floor."

The first 15 pictures deal with the process of Making a Fish while the remaining pictures are Fish themselves that are in private collections.

Each piece is one-of-a-kind and created in my personal studio in Oregon. 
I hope you appreciate the singular beauty of these treasures.
