Limited Edition Print - Ningaloo Seadragon
As a marine biologist, I loved the field of vicariance biogeography. Vicariance is the physical division of organisms based on environmental change. Studying this at a time before the advanced genetic technologies we have today, some imagination was required (at times) to align variation in morphology with historical shifts in geography.
On a recent surf trip to Exmouth I wondered what seadragons might look like if they lived on Ningaloo Reef. Inspired by the desert colours, I made them light up the dragon’s body. Swimming with whale sharks gave me the inspiration for the spots on the seadragon’s transparent fins.
