Broad pieces of bull kelp stretch the length of the fabric, leaving behind layers of charcoal, stormy grey and muted ochre. Their folds and uneven edges create a weathered landscape across the silk, with details appearing and disappearing as the kelp overlaps.
The unpredictable nature of the process means this piece cannot be recreated.
