Unfortunately, I couldn’t in good conscience recreate its brilliant colours. Instead, this table represents the sad but true state of our corals: bleached and dying. To capture this, the base is sculpted from textured, bleached sycamore, evoking the skeletal remains of reefs. This piece functions as both as a sculptural table and also as a reminder that humanity’s actions shape the fate of the natural world.Theo SilkstoneOxford, EnglandCoral detail, Theo SilkstoneCoral, Theo SilkstoneCoralAboutThe concept developed around some beautiful, vivid red coral I had previously drawn.
