Float I
‘Float’ takes specimen of bright orange coral from the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery collection and lifts it beyond its scientific context into a dreamlike landscape. Suspended above a shimmering sea and billowing clouds, the coral becomes untethered from time and place—part artifact, part living form, part memory. Museum collections hold fragments of the natural world in stillness, while the ocean itself is ever shifting, shaped by light, movement, and change. Bringing them together creates a quiet tension between preservation and transformation.
