Title: Knotted Wrack
Description
Hand constructed 3D wall sculpture made from found materials sourced by hand from the coastline of Anglesey. Plant stem and wood bound with blue and orange fishing line holding a bulb of dried seaweed.
Backstory
Knotted Wrack is the name given to the seaweed used in this piece, it has many other names including Norwegian kelp. It is found in cold water on sheltered and rocky shores. It has an olive-green, olive-brown in colour when wet having long, leathery fronds with egg shaped air bladders attached. It is slippery under foot as I know to my peril from childhood expeditions hunting for crabs.
Materials
Fishing line, plant stem, seaweed and wood.
