Legionnaire Hat - Jean Jullien

'For as long as I remember the ocean has had a very strong impact on me. Rock pools and the intense imagery of the aquatic fauna and flora filled my imagination from an early age. I grew accustomed to documenting the seaside in my sketchbooks, then in paintings. RiFiFi is a fantastic opportunity for me to pour all these drawings onto the walls of the NGV in order to create what I hope will be a thrilling underwater installation with tailored activities to share my love of anything aquatic! I hope RiFiFi will engage our little sea explorers and teach them to love and respect the ocean.' - Jean Jullien
