"The Maldive Shark" by Troy's Work Table.
Sidewalk chalk wash, sidewalk chalk, chalk pastels, and charcoal pencil on 12" x 12" concrete board.

"But liquidly glide on his ghastly flank / Or before his Gorgonian head;" and "Eyes and brains to the dotard lethargic and dull, / Pale ravener of horrible meat." —from "The Maldive Shark" by Herman Melville

There is beauty and horror in existence.
There is a dance between the pilot-fish and the shark they "serve" that we do not and cannot comprehend.
