Bottlenose Dolphin (Tursiops truncatus)

Cecile Derel
Chicago, IL United States

Optic crystal sculpture hand engraved with a Bottlenose Dolphin. Intaglio engraved using the drill technique with a variety of diamond burs for engraving and rubber burs for shading and contrasting.

Inspired by the beauty and amazing variety of creatures found in nature, my artwork largely focuses on animals, sea life and plants. I use the fragility, colors and luminescent qualities of glass to capture and reflect upon the delicate nature of the world around us.

Dimensions: 6 x 6 x 1.25 inches
