5 Shark Teeth

Finding a fossilized shark tooth transforms an ordinary beachcombing walk into a reach across millions of years. Holding it in your hand, being the first person to touch it since it fell from the ancient shark’s jaw. Suddenly, prehistory is a tangible object in your palm instead of an abstract concept.

In the original drawing, I used heavily applied graphite and colored pencil to recreate fossilized shark teeth found on my own beach walks.
