I began a short film about painting the shells. I am learning to use a new camera. Idea: restating the shells by using photos of real shells collaged on to another form of shell and then photographed one more time... in a pile. I have found a references to shells in the memoirs of Sir Isaac Newton: "...diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.."
