NZ Bladder Kelp seaweed 3D Thread Sculpture.

This sculpture is based upon a common brown seaweed found in New Zealand (Macrocystis pyrifera).  These extroardinary seaweeds grow up to 20 metres high, with long slender stems and beautiful patterns.  They have a corrugated surface, and prickly-like edges.  Exploring the lower North regions of New Zealand, I photographed and took sketches of these seaweeds amongst the inter-tidal areas.  

It is completely hand made in New Zealand, and made up of hundreds and thousands of tiny stitches and moulded onto glass pins.

Professionally framed using a white boxed frame and high grade museum glass. This offers ultimate clarity, with reduced reflection, and has 99% UV protection from the sun.

Measures:  58cm Height x 40cm Width x 4.5cm depth. 

Framed and ready to be hung.  Each artwork comes with its own signed certificate of authenticity.
