Coral Reef

---

Coral Reef is a large-scale, collaborative printmaking installation created by 47 students enrolled in Associate Professor Marilee Salvator’s Printmaking Relief and Screenprinting classes in the Department of Art and Design during Fall 2019, Fall 2021 and Spring 2022 semesters. This second print installation at the museum explores the marine biome. Each student was asked to create a print of a researched sea creature, coral, or aquatic plant.  After creating the image, the students printed and cut out 30 impressions on a special paper made from Kozo fibers. After hours of working on their individual pieces, Salvator and her students spent several hours installing the exhibition in the gallery space. The work is hung with a process called wall chine colle, a non-damaging, water reversible gluing process.
