by DOMINIC BROMLEY The natural occurrence of the bait-ball phenomenon, where a mass of fish act as one to protect themselves against predators, has been brilliantly captured in Dominic Bromley's development of 'Shoal', a dramatic sculptural form created by simple fish forms in duplicate and spiraling as one.
Each fish is originated from a delicate sculpted work in clay and reproduced in fine bone china in the potteries in North Staffordshire, central England. The natural translucency of the bone china body allows each fish to radiate with the hue of the light it circles. Shoal 284, as its name implies, is made up of 284 unglazed bone china fish, strung by hand around a central beam of light and suspended from a chromed steel circular frame.
