Colleen Flanigan (‘97) is showing her Gossamer Crocheted Reef and Biorock installation at KnitPurl, 1101 SW Alder in Portland through mid-March.

The window displays at KnitPurl simulate this solution for coral restoration with locally crafted artwork. The installation is in support of an actual coral refuge sea sculpture slated for June in Mexico:
