The exhibit + sale ended Oct 3, 2021 at the Pajaro Valley Arts gallery in Watsonville, CA
“Snowflake Coral Travels” was a new piece created for the Reflections exhibit + sale
As land traffic quieted down, ocean shipping traffic increased. Snowflake coral, an opportunistic hitchhiking animal, travels from port to port in the bilge water of ships. Bilge water released at a ship’s destination spreads the polyps who quietly invade and colonize new ports and defenseless reefs.
