BAC26206 2003. Watercolour and gouache on Arches paper, 235 x 390mm, scale 2:1, mounted but not framed, signed and dated by artist.<P> Page 188 (Winteria telescopa) Up to two and a half kilometres below the surface of the Indian Ocean lives the jellyfaced spookfish. The creature is just fifteen centimetres long and its head appears to be made of jelly. So transparent is this weird substance that you can see the veins and arteries carrying its blood to its brain and snout. The jellyfaced spookfish looks like a short-sighted, jelly-headed herring. Why does it have a jelly-head, and how do its eyes work to catch its prey? No one knows, nor is it clear what the three tiny red dots on the snout of this mysterious fish mean. $1250.00AUD
