When talking to someone from the park about the story, they mentioned that fresh water mussels (images above) can be found in the pool and they will produce small pearls. I also walked round the park and took a selection of photos of the pool edges that could provide a setting for the story.
Using a combination of found images and my own photographs, I have produced a collage. This will be the basis for the print.
As with previous prints, I have been looking at some of Eris Ravilious' prints that were done when he was working as a war artist. In one particular print 'Submarine Commander' he used a circular devise to focus the viewer's attention on what the commander was seeing. As the mussel shell was so small, I have decided to feature an enlarged view of it in a circle in the corner of the print.
