The amazing, other worldly, Nautilus is often referred to as a ‘living fossil’. Nautiluses have survived relatively unchanged for hundreds of millions of years and have lived on planet earth for the last 500 million years.

Nautiluses occupied the Earth 265 million years before dinosaurs and are relatives of the extinct ammonite.

Each of Danni’s pieces are original, unique and produced by Danni from start finish here in her studio. Each piece is inked, painted and gilded onto the reverse of toughened glass. After completion the piece is flipped over to reveal the artwork through the glass and framed in a deep frame, creating a gap between the artwork on the glass and the white backboard, which creates the shadow effect you can see behind the Nautilus giving the whole piece an almost 3D quality. These shadows can move and dance across the backboard when the piece is hung in natural light, like in a lovely bright room , but will look equally as good under spots or in any well lit space. Once evening comes the these pieces take on a whole new aspect as the metallic leaf radiates its own luminescence.
