Prismatic Layers

In a quest for the perfect name, I did some research about conch and sea shells in general. One phrase struck a cord – prismatic layers. Basically a shell is calcium carbonate which brings to mind a white gray chalky looking mineral supplement, or maybe the white skeletons of long dead corals washed up on the beach. “Prismatic layers” aptly describes the hues of my Queen Conch shells.

A large square piece these shells truly have presence. Close up the forms are abstract, yet from further back the lights and darks become the nooks and crannies in a pile of conch shells.

Lac Cai is the final resting place for thousands of conch shells. Once harvested by local fishermen, the shells remain as testament to the life style of generations past. Conch is now a protected species on Bonaire.
