Artwork Description
Through years of looking into tide pools and spending time at the beach, Stephen Dee Edwards has developed a unique sense of color and form. His sculptures are inspired by the vibrant color of coral and the graceful rippling shapes of sea anemones. Lattice Physalia appears to sway with the ocean current, rooted by its deceptively flimsy stem. The surface detail encourages closer inspection and creates the feeling of being submerged, as if diving through a surreal underwater landscape.
