“The Seaweed Ink was a fascinating material to experiment with. I ended up mixing it with my screenprinting medium to form a strange smelling thick paste. I used this material to print the mask like faces and fragments of statues into the drying surface of the painting. I also created a silk screen from an archival image I had lying around in the studio of photos of scallops under the ocean. These submerged strands of shells and seaweed, printed using the seaweed ink, worked well in conjunction with the pastel swathes of cobalt blue and nicosia green to hopefully embody what its like under the ocean peering up at a passing vessel. The viewer can immerse themselves in an Atlantis like submerged space in this painting, fragments of a civilization under the ocean.”
