Author listens to the sound of Tamboli or Tambuyuk
(Conch Shell Trumpet) at the former Museum of St. Paul
University QC
I'm standing on the world's narrowest isthmus,among archives and fossils of history,where I can hold the Pacific and the Atlanticoceans half the world apart and free;I cross the time and distance barrierwith these chroniclers singing to methe ever unending roars of the tides,tides on the street, tides of the sea.
Floral arrangement of bi-valve shells smoothened by constant
"grinding" at the seashore, surrounded by different shells
to add variety to the presentation.
These shells are arranged on a simulated background
of a coral reef. In nature these shells have their
specific habitats and groupings into populations.
Pin cushion shell
Conch shell
Fossil of a Giant Clam (Tridacna gigas)
Brain coral with attached shells, symbionts or transients
Make-believe pearls of Green Mussel
An artwork must be faithful to its educational thrust
if used as teaching aid. Pearl-like marbles are actually
stoppers of liquor bottles. ~
