“Coral Portal”
MAD Arts Museum,
Dania Beach
(2023)
A sculpture featuring a projected animation of a 3D-scanned underwater landscape from Carysfort Reef in the Florida Keys, captured by the artist while scuba diving. Looking down into the dish-shaped, textured "portal," viewers witness an out-planted crop of restored Elkhorn coral emerging to the surface.
This project highlights the beauty of these fragile ecosystems while showcasing the research and fieldwork that inform the artist's ceramic sculptures and installations.
