Ammonite Fossil’s Winding Colours
Brown, amber-coloured and olive-green areas bring an earthy warmth to the ammonite fossil’s spiral face. Narrow cream lines separate curved compartments that gather around a tight centre, while dark grey and white add sharper contrasts. The rounded outline has a projecting end, giving the winding shape an unexpected edge.
Across the face, smooth reflective areas mingle with fine speckling, pale granular patches and dark recesses. These shifts in texture give the eye something new to follow from one compartment to the next. In an imagined landscape, the coloured sections could become small islands, with pale waterways threading between them. The broad outer curves seem to open that little world outward, yet every winding line draws attention back towards the closely curled centre.
