My inspiration is driven by my relationship to the Ocean. To create, I use seaweed and a variety of organic materials collected from the intertidal zones along the coast.
A key concept with my work is transformation. This involves a process of symbiotic layering, where the known and unknown intersect to challenge thought patterns.
Using seaweed as a medium in art making has connected me to my local environment in a very literal sense. For most people seaweed is a nuisance - something to avoid. My work presents a new awareness for consideration and offers new insights into the mysteries and beauty of the marine world.
