Signature Contemporary Gallery, 2014

40 wall pieces inspired by the bleached, skeletal remains of coral reef colonies.

Ocean reefs are dying faster than they can regenerate in response to changes in climate, water levels and temperatures. The saline content of water, and significant changes in natural and healthy co-species also contribute to the loss. Although the death and subsequent bleaching of coral reef habitats is devastating, the skeletal structures left behind are eerily beautiful, very tactile, complex and visually compelling.
