This year TRAILS finalists included artists from across Australia. The works reflected a range of media, techniques and experience, providing viewers with a broad spectrum from which to cast their People's Choice vote.
In crafting this sculpture, I pay tribute to the awe-inspiring journey of a majestic whale. From its graceful descent to the ocean floor, the "whale fall" becomes a vibrant coral reef, symbolizing eternal guardianship. This artwork is a timeless call for ocean conservation and the protection of its vibrant life.
Exhibited at Argyle Gallery - Julia Street Creative Space, 2024
