Sea Spaghetti

Sea SpaghettiSea Spaghetti Aberffraw BeachThis print captures Himanthalia elongata, commonly known as sea spaghetti. I've varied how I've printed the specimen, sometimes it may be printed in a flattened, straightened form that highlights its clean, graphic lines or left to retain its natural flowing shape, echoing how it moves in water. This variation speaks to the organic unpredictability of the material and is part of the evolving nature of the collection.

With the mount it measures 77

enhancing its depth and character

not only has each element been printed separately

I always wonder if it is just people liking the image

The tentacles don't really print so I hand painted them in after

So we did some al fresco printing as a family and I did some extras like this one to sell

Printed in black acrylic ink

Supplied in an art mount

the definition you get on the scales is wonderful

the three panels form a flowing composition that mirrors the movement of the sea

You can see this on the video

The lobster is such a great subject for a coastal artist like myself
