From the "Suspended In Time" Exhibition at The Brickworks Museum Inspired by my diving adventures into the deep, this piece of work is a shipwreck hull. Over time, decay gives way to life, as marine creatures claim the wreckage as their own. This piece captures the slow transformation of a leaning, sunken ship’s hull, now teeming with corals, barnacles, and seaweed. The disintegrating wood is textured and worn. Vibrant coral plates and clusters of barnacles spread across the surface, their organic shapes contrasting with the ship’s rigid structure. A wash of iron oxide gives the hull a distressed finish, emphasising its history. Barnacles are sculpted from unglazed porcelain. Steampunk-inspired portholes with embedded cogs, reminiscent of watch gears, give a timeless intrigue. Approx. 30cm long
