Red Spotted Newt

Because of their magical symbolism and led by their circular tendencies, I was drawn to render the eft stage of the spotted newt into a triquetra pattern, present throughout Celtic design, architecture and medieval manuscripts. The interlacing pattern is an ancient symbol of unity, strength and protection- often associated with the holy trinity or balance of eternal concepts: earth, air, water; mother, maiden, crone; birth, death, rebirth...

    Red Spotted Newt

    According to some legends, salamanders come from fire while in others they actually make fire and are thought to have taught this skill to humans. In many myths they are described as immune to fire and in the Talmud it is even suggested that anyone smeared with salamander blood will become fireproof themselves.

    Newts, unlike other members of the family Salamandridae, are semi-aquatic, metamorphosing between aquatic and terrestrial habitats. The vibrant red-spotted (Eastern) newt, spends most of its life cycle in fresh water, except for the striking red-eft stage which is spent on land. This intense color alerts potential predators to its toxic skin.
