Artist Statement:
A world many of us rarely sea, clingy coral cluster makes an appearance within our terrestrial landscape... a symbolic presence of coral, once autonomous, calls to us in the hopes of maintaining their continued existence. Artist Bio: A soft sculpture artist interested in aquatic imagery, pattern mimicking, molding and stitching techniques as well as infused 3D extruded tech, artificial lighting & incorporated AR visuals.
My e.quatic series of work is informed by the natural aquatic environment, and the creatures within. I utilise traditional sewing techniques, lighting and other incorporated technologies... a virtual luminescence, much as the human race embraces technology to enhance man-made accessories and immediate environmental experiences. This meshing is a process and aesthetic I endeavour to mimic within a lot of my own works.

VISCERAL BODIES
An interpretation of beauty, colour and bio-luminescence that comes from the deep, one that most will never chance to see. This work teases the viewer into a world that is life e.quatic.
