In 2014 the body of a blue whale washed ashore in Rocky Harbour, having tragically perished after being trapped in ice. Lead by Mammalogy Technician, Jacqueline Miller the discovery prompted a team of scientists from the museum to remove the huge mammals heart and meticulously preserve the specimen over the following 3 years.
Drawing inspiration from Roman Paleozoic cement and marine organisms like coral that capture carbon to create their structures. Sesti has been developing a carbon sink sculpture medium, a revolutionary material that combines eco-friendly concrete and carbon capture crystals to permanently store captured CO2 in rock form, a 1st for the art world.
