Plastic Coral reef for NationAL Geographic at Disney’s D23 event

Portal Arts collective had the honor of collaborating with Lumen Forge and Joel De An Stockdill and Yustina Salnikova to create life-size sculptures of marine animals and coral reef for National Geographic’s immersive oceanic-inspired exhibit at Disney’s D23 Expo: The Ultimate Fan Event, held Aug. 23-25 at the Anaheim Convention Center in California.

To build this piece we welded steel armatures for the various coral creatures then covered them with color plastic sourced from our community and recycling resources such as SCRAP. https://portland.scrapcreativereuse.org/
