I was really drawn to this installation called Coral: Fabric of the Reef by Karen Dodd for a number of reasons. For one, I love marine life and I love art that mimics marine life, especially coral. The way she used different textiles to represent the unique textures of the coral is mesmerizing and the colors are beautiful.
This coral in particular is my favorite out of the installation. I love how you can see the intricate details and the juxtaposition of the thick and thin fabrics to mimic the textures found in corals. I couldn’t find specific information about how Karen Dodd made these works but they are truly stunning.
