Roman Mosaic c.2025
Coralie collaborated with Turner Prize winning Artist Jeremy Deller to create a new artwork for Scarborough. Following Jeremy’s concept and collaborative direction Coralie drew and discussed layout detail and design to make a mosaic artwork depicting sea creatures for the new sea watching station on Marine Drive.
The mosaic is fragmentary, a piece of modern archaeology, looking like it has just been uncovered.
The mosaic took 18 months to design and make with 4 months being the construction phase cutting and setting 300,000 tesserae with 8 assistants in Coralie’s Yorkshire Artspace studio.
The piece is a permanent installation and was commissioned by Yorkshire Wildlife Trust through Invisible Dust and freelance curator Jeannie Griffin.
