Marine Debris

“Beachcombings 1 & 2 contain pieces of marine debris I have collected while doing beach cleanups along the shores of my local waterways. My intention is for this collection of tactile coral-like pieces to aid in starting conversations around the negative impact that single-use plastics have on our marine environment, and to then inspire action.” - Deanne Howlett

Beachcombings 1 - three smaller coral pieces, 70-80mm, marine debris, resin

Beachcombings 2 - three larger coral pieces, 100-130mm, marine debris, resin

A percentage of sales from this collection will be donated to Marine Mammal Foundation

These sculptures are original artworks featured in The Artist’s Garden by CLeed at this year’s Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show.
