A tiny pressed plant Kodama artwork inspired by Studio Ghibli’s Princess Mononoke. The Fern was taken from a garden where it had started growing in a place where there wasn’t enough space for it (not uprooted from the wild)

Here’s a quick
#marinealgae
pressing time lapse I made when working on Beneath the Waves. All of the pieces were collected loose when washed up by the sea, it’s always interesting to see what the tide brings in and no specimens are removed from the places they were growing.

And a close up! The seaweed was collected on various trips to beaches along the South Coast. Only loose pieces washed up by the tide were used, so none of the seaweeds were removed from their holdfasts.
