I’ve been working as a reef sculptor for the last 4 years and have made several installations that I’m proud of, but none nearly as much as this latest piece. This “Tree of Life” is an electrified artificial reef, which causes it to form a crust of limestone on its surfaces creating a bio-engineered habitat for the coral that we’ll garden across the sculpture.
The work has only just begun. Now to garden this space with small, naturally fragmented coral that we’ll find lying in the sand
These coral fragments, broken by waves and careless activity will be rescued from the sands where they would otherwise die, and fixed to the bars of the sculpture where they’ll thrive and grow into healthy colonies
The sculpture took several months to complete, and in that time it sat on my balcony as a lamp so it wasn’t entirely functionless
