The School Series

This series of sculptural pieces were created to represent ways in which creatures can congregate. I’ve chosen the school of fish as a title as this represents the way fish can gain safety from predators by confusing them, and also allows them to save energy by using the slipstreams of other fish. A school is a group of fish belonging to the same species (as opposed to a shoal which contains many species loosely gathered together). There is a beautiful sychrony when all the fish swim in the same direction, that is also seen in a murmuration of birds.
