Macrocosm
The work is inspired by a small-scale ocean environment enlarged to a mega scale.
The inflatable works are derived from sea urchins, clownfish and nudibranchs, which are colourful sea-slugs found around Australia.
These oversized forms cluster together to create a playful immersive experience for festival visitors to wonder through.
