Catherine Rahn at the Ormond Art Museum

At the Ormond Beach Museum in Ormond Beach, Florida in May, 1999, Rahn installed her artwork to evoke an undersea world. Walls were painted to resemble the structure of the reef with waves above and irregular rocky bottom. The glass Sea Stars appeared to float in this space.

A second gallery contained an enclosure filled with water and Sea Stars, reminiscent of a tide pool.
