ARTIST STATEMENT

Shallowed Under Moon and Sun intends to investigate the primordial and virtually terrestrial zone of subtidal ecorealms. These tidal pools and their biological activity have been transmitted to virtual emulations through the compiling of a generative point cloud solarised against 3D scans of tidal pools on the south coast of NSW. In doing so, the work seeks to consider conditions of alchemical transformation amidst environmental change.
