bleaching coral Sculpture

My sculptures are drawn from memory, imagination and visual reference, using elements of ocean plant and animal biology and anatomy, to create forms that play with reality. I invite you to look, engage your imagination, and form your own narrative about the beautifully strange form.  I watched Chasing Coral and was struck by just how delicate reefs are and how sad it is that we could lose such a beautiful special ecosystem. I thought it would interesting to see if I could capture the fragile beauty of a bleaching coral in my work. I used a porcelain-white stoneware clay body that gives me the plasticity I need to create the delicate shapes and the whiteness of the bleached coral. I then applied layers of volcanic slips, oxides and glazes to give it texture and convey the process of bleaching. Ultimately I want you to care about our marine life. I hope by making something beautiful, I can form a connection and inspire to protect our beautiful oceans, the life-support system of our planet.
