Description
Four botanical specimens of algae and corallines are arranged in a gridded composition, rendered in delicate pen and watercolor with golden and sepia tones dominating the upper and lower right specimens while the others remain as refined line drawings. The naturalistic study captures the intricate branching structures and organic forms of marine plant life with scientific precision, evoking the careful observation practices of 19th-century natural history illustration. Crafted from bamboo and made to order, with a drilled hole so it hangs on the wall as easily as it works on the counter. A kitchen essential carrying an independent artist's work, not a blank block from the big-box aisle.
