Giant Chimaera 1

A vertically symmetrical, totem-like composition on cream paper: two ribbed teal fronds curve upward like parentheses to frame a stack of organic, coral- or fungus-like forms in mustard-yellow, olive-green, and pale blue, each marked with fine branching veins, dotted textures, or small flower-like spots. The stacked shapes narrow toward a blue tapering root at the bottom center, giving the whole figure a segmented, creature-like structure against a plain light ground. Pencil annotations are visible below the image along the lower margin. Giant Chimaera 1, watercolor by Ralph Kiggell, 2021.
