I’m excited to share with you that i have made a PRINT available of my painting “FOREST OF THE SEA” from my recent exhibition “Half-Light” at Maitland Regional Art Gallery.

Half-Light offers insight into the immersive world of Mesophotic Coral Ecosystems. Hypothesized to be of significant ecological importance these deeper coral reefs are between 50-150m under the surface of the ocean. Existing in the cooler, darker waters that are yet to be affected by environmental stressors such as a changing climate. 

In early 2021, artist Ellie Hannon and photographer Conor Ashleigh joined an oceanographic research expedition onboard the Schmidt Ocean Institutes research ship ‘Falkor’ to work alongside scientists. This 3 week residency took place at Ashmore Reef, a Marine park 630km north of Broome. 

Half-Light provides the rare opportunity for connection and felt responsibility towards a little-known ecosystem by offering insight into spaces in nature that are unlikely to be experienced firsthand in a lifetime. These environs exist in the twilight zone, between daylight and darkness, the seen and the unseen, the known and imagined.
