This is a high quality Giclée print of my original mixed media 3D collage. I have shown photos of the print framed for reference, this listing is for the print and does not include the frames.
 
I spotted this little bunch of seaweed along the Ceredigion Coast path and was instantly in love with the colour and texture contrasts. The level of detail in this one little piece of seaweed is stunning. I've partnered it with layers of old paper and sheet music for it to burst out of it's shell against. 
 
Based in Cardigan Bay, I find inspiration and materials on my regular beach combing walks along the beach where I live. I combine the natural gems I find with a variety of old papers, sheet music and mixed media to give new life to my little 3d coastal creations. 
 
Printed for me by ThePrintSpace using 11 ultra wide gamut inks on 310gsm Hahnemühle German Etching. This heavyweight paper has a slightly warm base tone and a strong mottled texture. It creates a print with strong colours and deep blacks that feel rich and high in contrast. This is due to the texture of the paper enabling it to hold more ink and capture the light. The German Etching is one of our heavier weight Giclée art printing papers. With its weight and strong texture this paper gives an artwork a handmade crafted feel. Hahnemüle German Etching is a robust Giclée paper, meaning it doesn’t tend to fray as much at the edges. Archival life, 80 years.
