Stories found beachcombing along the ancient and in modern times deeply misused Gulf of Mexico, between the bivalves and the camera. The age of a shell cannot reliably be determined. I call the Gulf grandmother for she has known me and my mother before me our entire lives.
The doorway of a gastropod is called the aperture…. making the door, the operculum, a kind of shutter, a lens upon this infinite sea full of archetypes and other old stories.

Thanks Kim. Ive returned to a childhood obsession with shells and the worlds they contain. They’re kind of a miracle of design & engineering; an expressed, creative meditation. Peace to you lady, I know its been hot there. Here we’re snowed under and below zero…trade? 🙂
