Sound of Jura Seaweeds
Inveraray, Knapdale, Kilmartin and Crinan
Music, art and culture
For twenty years I have been snorkelling and swimming in the beautiful Sound of Jura. Fascinated by the realm of seaweed beneath me I see it as secret and unexpected treasure – underwater kelp forests and sea meadows gracefully riding the ebb and flow of the tides and currents. Diving for eye-catching specimens, I then collage, arrange and press them into artwork to capture their exquisite colour and diverse and extraordinary forms.
