I am interested by the similarities in different parts of nature: the way trees branch being almost mirrored by their root systems and in this case how sea fans look like trees. Much of my deep imagination lies under the sea and when I started on the Treehandles project I remembered these corals that get washed up on beaches. Each individual fan is matched to a particular handle (ultimately, I have to thank Marcel Duchamp) which is a most enjoyable pursuit – to find the right combination so that they talk to each other and sit happily together.
