Finished artwork created at Glovers Reef


Coral Study (2009) photo-collage on canvas



Lovers Reef (2009) photo-collage on foam and duct tape!
(split into two parts here because
the complete image would not fit across the blog site)

The brief for this artist in residence was to create a centrepiece for an interpretation centre which is in the process of being built on the atoll. Alex, the station manager, kindly gave me access to his archive of underwater photographs to use as core material for the picture. In the process of scanning through the images, I was also able to pick out interesting close ups of different aspects of the reef which caught my eye, and formulate them into an another composition which turned out as 'Coral Study'.
