One degree of Separation (detail)
ceramic
If we think of the evolutionary history of animals as a vast lineage which has undergone incremental changes, generation upon generation over billions of years, we can see that in the bigger picture each of our family trees have common roots — roots common with all of the other animal species. Wanting to find a metaphor for this common lineage and to share this understanding of our commonality with all life on earth, and (by implication) with corals, I created the work One Degree of Separation. Not only are we inextricably linked to corals by this inconceivably vast succession of individual lives lived and the ‘morphing’ of one species into another over vast expanses of time, but by our fortunes as well. The delicate biological balance that has been arrived at on the planet over several billion years has not been immune to external forces—it has been created by them. This work is a visual metaphor for the idea that the fortune of humans is inextricably connected to the health and well-being of other animal (and plant) species and that the bleaching and death of corals that can arise from even a one degree rise in sea temperature is a warning to humanity of our ultimate dependence on a stable and healthy planet and the absolute necessity to care for it.
