My work "(What if...) unBleached” was selected to be exhibited at this year’s Mosaic Arts International, along with 34 other artists from 10 different countries.
"(What if...) unBleached" is part of a series in which I explore the idea of fossils, objects millions of years old, coming back to life. The imagined effort of the fossils drawing energy from within and revealing to us long hidden secrets is what I try to explore through andamento and color gradations. As I worked in “unBleached", however, the colors of the fossils I chose to work with reminded me of bleached coral reefs. As a SCUBA diver, I have seen the effects of a changing climate on the reefs, and I mourn the loss of so many in my lifetime. My ‘what iffing’ turned to more earnest thinking about what could happen if we gave the reefs a chance to come back to their former glory, and whether we can still stop the damage to our oceans and reverse the current trends.”
