Seaweed can take various forms and appear unattractive or beautiful according to its environmental conditions.
In a process not unlike alchemy, I’ve taken tossed and discarded seaweed and sculpted it to highlight its fragile beauty.
I’ve applied my crafting skills to reshape it and I’ve added brass shim to “Peel” to add the contrast of shiny and matt, opaque and translucent.
My works are in a circular shape to replicate an embrace from family and friends.

Artist profile

My life is guided by the weather and the tides and my connections with people.
I work with seaweed as it is a fantastic metaphor for humans.
I pursue the notion of finding beauty in imperfection.
I highlight seaweed’s divergent features of fragility and resilience.
My works reflect the beauty and complexity of seaweed as well as humanity.
