Of waving weed and waiting claws, limited edition giclee print
Of waving weed and waiting claws.
This artwork captures the movement of the tide recorded in the algae (seaweed) being lifted on the shoulders of an incoming tide, then rested back upon the rocks on the retreating tide, the movement of water creating a unique arrangement twice daily.
Of waving weed and waiting claws is one of an ongoing series of works focussing on a specific area of the north coast of Cornwall UK.
This artwork started life with the use of a quadrat, a piece of scientific apparatus, used to record the type and quantity of species found in a specified area, a simple one metre by one metre square frame, sectioned off into twenty-five squares by a string grid.
The life forms framed by the quadrats are then reproduced to scale (1m x1m), and to the finest detail using pencil and paper, over a 12 month period .
110cm x 110cm giclee print, actual size of art work (unframed) on Awagami Washi Bamboo, 170gsm. Dense yet wonderfully soft, this paper is 100% ecological with notable benefits over cotton-based papers. Crafted from natural fibres and pure mountain water, it’s handmade for beautiful print output and longevity.
