The Seaweed Gatherer

Neckpiece, 2021

Knotted-Wrack Seaweed (Ascophyllum nodosum), Brass, Bio resin

30 x 19 x 5 cm

Once gathered, bladders are rinsed and dried in the sun preventing further decay, however, the colour it displays on the piece is dependant on decay at the time of gathering. Further variation is found in where each seaweed once grew: Knotted wrack on more sheltered shores grows larger, whereas, those on more exposed grow smaller.
