“Deep Black” depicts cold corals from the deep ocean of up to 6 km below the surface where they grow in icy cold waters without sunlight. These acidic marine landscapes of coral are ancient, up to 40,000 years old. Immediately, the array of colours strike my visual and aesthetic senses where darkness is usually a series of tonal blacks. Is light the only intruder in the darkness of deep ocean life? What is there and how can we exploit it for human needs? Let it be! Let it be untouched by human hands for haven’t we done enough damage to our world?
