TITLE: CORAL DIVER
DATE: 08/08/01
SIZE: (15") (20")

Red coral is prized. But this diver descends on Aegean treasure. A classic Greek helmet is encrusted in coral. The owner seems to reach up with decaying ship timbers in a gesture that mirrors the diver. Schools of fish and coral branches lead one to the other. We stumbled upon British musket parts while scouring Brewer's Bay, BVI. But vivid color, marine life and neutral buoyancy keep us diving.
