'Shoreline Habits II' selected for competition and exhibition

I'm so excited to learn that my print 'Shoreline Habits II' has been selected for the Ironbridge Fine Arts Annual Printmaking Competition and Exhibition, 2024

'Shoreline Habits II' is printed with 35 Sea Spaghetti (Himanthalia elongata) 'buttons', gathered as drift (not harvested) over a period of two years. I've fallen in love with these funny little pieces of seaweed and the unique, sculptural impression they make on paper. It's lovely to be able to share them with others

Below you can see what the 'buttons' look like before they're pressed, dried and printed without ink
