Inspired by the work of ceramicist, Courtney Mattison, and the ideas of steam punk, my artwork explores the dangers that our coral reefs and sea life currently face. I used neutral grey to show the mechanical steam punk features and bright colours for the coral. In some sections I added a lightening effect to represent coral bleaching due to climate change and the impact of humanity on the natural world.
