Reefscape is?a macro view of a coral reef as seen when floating on the surface of the water. The colours, pattern and texture span all 9 panels; from a distance each panel makes up a section of a larger landscape design. Upon closer inspection each panel is made up of hundreds of pieces of murrine, each piece is incredibly detailed, emulating the textures, colours and beauty of individual corals on the reef. The work allows the audience to imagine themselves there, transported to a place to marvel at the vibrance of coral reefs, and a moment of retrospection on their fragility. My work is an attempt, as an artist, to offer the audience the of experience being amongst a coral reef and the unique beauty and life found there through my usage of colour and pattern. Each murrine in Reefscape was made in the hot shop by first pulling cane, then assembling these into a pattern before heating them and stretching?them?again. The panels are created through kiln forming and slumping.
