Sculpting Big Coral Reefs

art

Hello everyone!

I finally finished not only the seventeen pieces of the psychedelic colored coral reef wall installation, but I also edited a class about it on Skillshare and you can see snippets of the process as well on YouTube.

What a journey it has been to work on these massive sculptures! They will be installed on a library for a nomadic exhibition that will start next year, I cannot wait to see the final result! I will certainly keep you updated once I have in situ pictures of these!

The seventeen coral pieces took about 3 months to complete, while also taking over my life and art studio.
Here some close-up pictures of the sculptures.

I did record the process as I was going and made a time-lapse for my YouTube channel, while I discuss what I’ve been up to these last months.

And if you are looking for more technical advice, I did share process, materials and thoughts for these sculptures in a class on Skillshare. I have been teaching there on the regular and Skillshare is currently my most stable income.

Now that this gigantic project is over, I will be going back to smaller pieces again, at least for the time being!
Sculpting so big was a lot of fun and I’d be happy to reiterate the experience in the future.

Hope you are all doing great!
