Description: A long, narrow teal board with a small square missing in its bottom left corner serves as the background for this piece. The piece is detailed with looping waves, which may be glued string, or something like paint or marker. Seven small fish of simple shape and a single eye detail are scattered throughout the waves. The profile of a swimmer mid-stroke is attached to this background. The swimmer’s head is down, and attached to a circle that represents the knot of her shoulders. A smooth arc of a body is attached to the shoulders, ending in elevated, projecting feet. The swimmer’s arms are made from two thin, curved pieces of wood that end in curlicues. Her right arm is fully extended in-front of her, while her left arm is in recovery.
