Coral Decay #3

Coral Decay #3

Coral Decay #3 is a sacred geometry testament to vanishing oceans — part of John Brevard's exclusive Decay of Time Series. Each piece begins with climate-displaced coral washed ashore — pressed into raw earth clay to form a precise biological mould, into which recycled molten zinc is poured, the coral burning away to leave a haunting exact fossilised imprint in permanent elemental metal. An absence etched with absolute precision. A memory crystallised forever.

Hand-polished petrified wood slabs are inlaid in deliberate sacred contrast — their soft tactile luminous finish standing in profound material dialogue with the raw volcanic zinc surrounding them. Ancient and urgent simultaneously. A relic of the natural world cast in recycled contemporary form — designed for deep reflection and spatial reverence.

Handcrafted as a singular collectible art object, it embodies harmonic proportion, elemental depth, and energetic resonance within every fossilised impression and polished ancient surface. This is not simply furniture. It is a fossilised testament to vanishing oceans — preserved forever in the permanence of sacred intentional form.
