Gold Coast based sculptor, Sam Gowing, is a lover of the ocean and the creatures that reside within it. Along the Eastern Coast in our warmer waters, a number of Sea Turtles breed and nest along our beaches. With Sea Turtle Nesting Sam brings the elegance of these magnificent creatures during their nesting period, capturing the fleeting moment these Sea Turtles make their way into the dunes to find a perfect spot to lay and bury their eggs. Using translucent materials that let the sunlight illuminate their intricate internal structures, Sam also hints at the fragility of these wonderful prehistoric creatures in our world.
