This image has been rattling around my brain for the longest time.

I love abandoned sea life along the shoreline, discarded by the sea as it retreats to low tide. Particularly the colourful sea flora.

I live just above Porthminster Beach which has a rich, constantly changing shoreline & beautiful fine, very sticky sand grains - including tiny shell parts & black grains which I believe is from cassiterite, from which tin is extracted, or some other mining spoil - Sometimes the black grains collect in the troughs of sand-waves, stunningly striking…

…but that’s for another print…

Full description

A wreath of shoreline sea life. Beautiful sea flora in dark greens & dusky pinks and sea worn shells & sand in sandy golden yellow.

Wreaths, an ancient symbol of eternity often floral or made from, oak, ivy, olive, laurel, vines & wheat. Also represented gold & worn as crowns. Harvest wreaths are hung to protect against crop failure. Floral wreaths worn by brides & are also hung from Maypoles to celebrate the coming of spring, midsummer &, of course, midwinter. Completing the life cycle, Wreaths are used to commemorate.

It's very hard to convey, in a photograph, the truly beautiful physical quality of the ink & it's colour on this gorgeously soft-to-touch paper - very tactile!

The photos disguise the soft matt quality of the paper & ink
