Cardinal Error

Description : Cardinal Error (2023) By Elizabeth Solich, oil on canvas, recycled materials. Believe it or not, heavy metals are a natural component of the earth's crust and weathering and erosion cause metals to wash from the land into the water. Levels of heavy metals, especially mercury, accumulate in fish as they feed. It is also absorbed through their gills as they swim. Big fish such as tuna or shark live much longer than small fish like Southern Cardinalfish and thus have more opportunities to accumulate heavy metals such as mercury and persistent organic pollutants such as dioxin or polychlorinated biphenyls, which are really nasty. Water gets polluted by the increased concentration of heavy metals and metalloids through release from the suddenly mine tailings, disposal of high metal wastes, growing industrial areas, leaded gasoline and paints, usage of fertilizers inland, animal manures, E-waste, sewage sludge, pesticides, wastewater irrigation, coal, etc. Heavy metal toxicity as a result of fish consumption can result in damage or reduced mental and central nervous system function, lower energy levels, and damage to blood composition, lungs, kidneys, bones, liver and other vital organs. This artwork is one of the three prepared for an upcoming exhibition at the Gallery M "The Five Elements" which concept takes inspiration from the five elements: Earth, Fire, Water, Air, Metal.

Adelaide based artist and photographer, Elizabeth Solich, has been honing her skills in underwater photography for the past seven years. Originally an architecture student, Elizabeth blended her photography skills and underwater observations of the fauna and flora with her drawing and painting experience, bringing about a perfect marriage of her two passions. Elizabeth's evolution into underwater photography allowed her to introduce another element to this union and extend the range of her talent even further. Her observations of marine fauna and flora allows Elizabeth to challenge boundaries, capturing the underwater world utilizing environmentally aware story telling in the exploration of movement and composition.  

Elizabeth shares her passion for everything underwater with the world. Through her artwork she expresses her never ending admiration for the weird and wonderful underwater creations of nature. Her works have been displayed at various exhibitions in Australia and overseas.
