Kelp I Jesmonite Art

Having originally studied Materials Science at Oxford University, I can never resist the chance to experiment, especially when it comes to materials. Jesmonite, a two-part composite, lends itself beautifully to casting as a process, allowing for both strength and intricate detail.

This hand-carved pattern was inspired by time spent free-diving through kelp forests in Cornwall, evoking the peaceful, silent world beneath the waves. The flowing forms capture the rhythm of water, the gentle sway of marine life, and the sense of stillness and immersion found beneath the surface. Part Jesmonite sculpture, part wooden wall art, the piece captures the meditative calm of the ocean in solid form. A more in depth discussion of working with Jesmonite as a material can be found in the linked article.
