Artist Statement

"Throughout history, scientists, artists, and storytellers have been mesmerized by these exotic creatures. Legends say that seahorses protect sailors while out at sea. The ancient Greeks also believed that seahorses escorted them between the physical and spiritual world when sailors drowned. Seahorses have special structures in their skin cells, called chromatophores, that give them the ability to change color. With that in mind, we thought it would be fitting to use foil paper for some of the prints."
