The Wall of Light

The Flat Earthers are wrong.
At the Edge of the World, there's no sudden drop, or barrier of Ice.

There's the Wall. Pulsating, Twisting. Blinding.
Heaven help the Mortal who dares approach, for there is no return.

'Delphinus' is a star, leaping from the ocean, a celestial traveller caught between the depths and the heavens.

Born from fire and smoke in the unpredictable alchemy of raku, it's iridescent surface swirls with cosmic starlight, copper reds and nebula blues.

A raku fired dolphin sculpture on a white background. It is iridescent with blues, reds, coppers. A close up of the face of the dolphin. A view of the other side of the dolphin. A close up of the body and fin of the dolphin.

The 'forever chemical' TFA accumulates in the food chain and is set to be classified as toxic to human reproduction.

High levels have been found in cereal products such as breakfast cereals - purchased in Ireland - and bread. jrnl.ie/6893077t

Another splotchy abstract about fear and running. Large amorphous teal character, a fog that's had its fill. Flames and profanity, but not in our languages.
