Aude Bourgine
Coral Frabication
Aude Bourgine has been creating corals since 2014. This French sculptor assembles textiles and recycled materials, meticulously reworking them to represent the intricate diversity of these underwater animals.
She then ‘protects’ these ‘endangered specimens’ under glass globes, like species in cabinets of curiosities, to represent their vulnerability in the face of many human excesses. She has also fashioned a metres-high textile coral reef installation, developed over time and through several residencies and exhibitions. Aude shares her creative time with children, the elderly and others who wish to join her in the defence of ecosystems and biodiversity through her residencies.
