I'm a builder, I build ideas from marine science and create artworks that reach for public understanding about our earth and oceans. I've been working ten years on the development of these ideas.

Plankton are the major shell or calcite producers. Waters with low pH have shown incomplete shell structures. Heavy metals, high acid levels in green oceans mean these one-cell organisms can no longer absorb the the nutrients they require to form shells. Coccolithophores are our earth's carbon pump and the base of our entire food chain.
