During my residency with the MadLab on the Étang de Thau, near Marseillan in France, I installed Concordia Album,
an installation I first created in 2014. Concordia Album was an attempt to present the Concordia shipwreck disaster
with an installation using my works on porcelain. Each piece interpreted press photos of the disaster to tell the story from
a new angle.
The original presentation was on a table in a low light room, so it was an opportunity to present the pieces submerged in the salt water of the Etang de Thau. This offered a fresh and pertinent perspective on the original installation and obviously brought the story closer to home – the sea.
