Janet Laurence's new evocative installation, The Burnt Sea is now on view at the Alfred Ehrhardt Stiftung in Berlin. This site-specific work transforms Alfred Ehrhardt’s 1930s–40s coral photographs into delicate silk veils that drift like underwater relics—fragmented, translucent, and fading. 🪼
Air currents and light animate these floating fabrics, echoing the fragility of our oceans and the devastating impact of coral bleaching. 🪸
Laurence’s poetic layering of embroidery and ash-toned imagery creates a space of mourning and reflection, while a “reef hospital” of bleached coral and coloured threads offers a glimmer of hope and restoration. This exhibition is a powerful call to action in the face of ecological crisis.
