Most of my sculptural works are reliefs made from natural materials collected from beaches. These materials bring me peace because I gather them during stress-relieving walks. They also bring me joy because I select items that inspire whimsical works of art: in this work, kelp fronds seem to create a 'human wave' by their motion. This work helps me to share peace and joy with others through not only its calming colour palette but also its various textures that add visual interest. The four, square compositions submitted can work as either individual pieces or as groupings.
