A meditation on time and transformation, Ammonitae captures an ancient spiral blooming with new life. Painted in soft washes of watercolor and ink, crystal spires rise from the fossil’s curve, fungi unfurl like tiny galaxies, and delicate blossoms spill through the chambers — a vision where earth’s deep memory meets rebirth.
Printed as a 10×10 archival art print on soft matte paper (lightweight, not heavy stock), this piece preserves every iridescent hue and fine botanical detail.
Each print comes with a companion poem — a meditation on memory, creation, and the spiral paths we take through becoming.
Ammonitae
From the hush of oceans
you spiraled out—
a chambered thought,
curling centuries into bone and memory.
Salt turned to stone,
and stone to cathedral—
crystal spires rising
where soft creatures once dreamed.
Fungi climbed your forgotten ribs,
patient architects of decay;
wildflowers spilled through the cracks
like laughter returning to ruins.
Now, your curve carries continents—
a helix of all becoming:
the amber dawn,
the bruised twilight,
the golden hum between.
Each whorl, a hymn to persistence,
each petal, a prayer for change.
What was once the sea’s secret
has become the earth’s crown—
a fossil reborn as temple,
a shell that still sings evolution
