There are over 300 different species of squid and they are found in every ocean. The largest of these cephalopods ever recorded, was a massive giant squid measuring 59ft and weighing nearly a ton.

The giant squid remains a mystery to scientists despite being the biggest invertebrate on the planet. And it is true they do fight with whales, Scars on the bodies of sperm whales indicate that they regularly do battle with giant squid. And the number of colossal squid beaks found in the stomachs of sperm whales indicate that the latter often win.

Each of Danni’s pieces are original, unique and produced by Danni from start finish here in her studio. Each piece is inked, painted and gilded onto the reverse of toughened glass. After completion the piece is flipped over to reveal the artwork through the glass and framed in a deep frame, creating a gap between the artwork on the glass and the white backboard, which creates the shadow effect you can see behind the Squid giving the whole piece an almost 3D quality. These shadows can move and dance across the backboard when the piece is hung in natural light, like in a lovely bright room , but will look equally as good under spots or in any well lit space. Once evening comes the these pieces take on a whole new aspect as the metallic leaf radiates its own luminescence.
