Using recycled and repurposed elements , this series of Totems took inspiration from our Oceans and its wonders. Using an image of a Coral Reef as reference, the twenty Totems become an abstract representation of the images using its original colors. Every inch of each stripes were closely observed in order to determine which color was more prominent in the given section. Only once all the colors were identified could the thread drawing begun. This artwork is a composition of more than five hundred colors and threads combinations.Coated with a layer of crystal resin the artwork is permanent, durable and extremely sturdy.
