The Pilgrimage: Green Sea Turtle<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n

By Andr\u00e9 Harvey (American, 1941\u20132018)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

“The Pilgrimage”<\/em><\/strong> is an extraordinary study of silent, primordial movement. Harvey captures the Green Sea Turtle not just as a figure, but as a living fossil, emphasizing the heavy, weighted grace of its flippers and the ancient architecture of its shell. This piece is a masterclass in texture, using specialized tools Harvey created himself to mimic the organic feel of sea-worn keratin and reptilian skin.<\/em><\/p>\n
