One of the greatest places in the San Francisco Bay Area is the Marine Mammal Center. There, marine mammals are rescued and rehabilitated. Many of the sea creatures are released back into the wild. Liz Sexton’s realistic papier-mâché celebrate sea creatures, and help remind us of their presence. Here’s more from COLOSSAL:
Sexton enjoys papier-mâché for its versatility and accessibility, using additional readily available materials like cloth, wire, and acrylic paint to build up each animal’s unique textures, patterns, and colors. Comprising her upcoming solo exhibition Out of Water at the Minnesota Marine Art Museum, the lifelike wearable sculptures draw attention to a variety of beings that rely on aquatic ecosystems for survival. Barnacles and belugas are photographed in atmospheric settings by the artist’s partner and collaborator Ben Toht, who captures each animal’s unique details and expressions.
