Oarweed, Wakame, and Bladderwrack. A textile project with a background dyed with Indigo. Seaweeds represented in a variety of media and techniques – Machine embroidery, hot iron cutting and crochet. Found objects suspended on fabric strips, printed in acrylics on seaweed, mark-making. All supported on driftwood and backed on found abandoned fishing net.
