Beautiful aquatic specimens sprout from craggy stones in Elena Fleury-Rojo’s Reef Formations sculptures. The British artist interprets the spindly shoots, scalloped-edge growths, and grooved tentacles of coral in clear or inexperienced borosilicate glass, which she fastens to rugged hunks of rock or marble. Melding land and sea and delicate and sturdy supplies, the works draw parallels between the speedy loss of life of the marine creatures and the disappearance of conventional flame-working methods, each of which Fleury-Rojo sees as having potential for a “hopeful regeneration into full bloom.”
The sculptures proven listed below are a part of the primary quantity of Reef Formations, a few of which might be on view at Essex’s The Sentinel Galley for a twin exhibition opening on April 4. Fleury-Rojo at present has a number of works out there on Etsy and ceaselessly shares glimpses into her studio and course of on Instagram.
