Oceans cover the majority of our planet but so little is known about their depths. The life forms surviving in these most hostile of environments are thought by some to be the beginnings of life on earth. They may indeed be the ones who prevail in the light of our increasing damage to the planet.

I used materials like those found around the ocean vents, such as silver and gold incorporating text to give factual information. Reflective stained glass and vitreous glass represents the colours of the ocean and tube worms and opaque ceramic represents the solid forms of the ‘Black Smokers’.
