From sea to gallery
Creative journey begins by the sea, where. gather kelp, seaweed & manmade discards., all carried in by the tides. They are unseen by most beach walkers, but are treasured items to me, the colours, changing shapes & textures, floating “dancing in the water” or dried crispy waiting for incoming tide.. .Sustainably harvested, washed, air dried or preserved,, then transformed into unique pieces, celebrating their organic forms, extending life cycle at same time embracing the ephemeral.
Kelp requires many days to dry, as on collection it is approx 80% seawater, the size, shape & texture changes significantly, I work with the kelp, let it lead the design, use weaving, stitch, clips & occasionally glue to achieve final piece.
This process gives new life to overlooked abandoned objects & marine bounty. It also provides opportunities to extol the role of kelp in supporting the environment & climate change..
