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.

Each print is hand-pulled using fine art techniques
