“I often work with media that is sourced from the landscapes that I’m working from such as local earth pigments, ash and burnt timber. It interested me that the seaweed ink is sourced from a small Community Benefit Society in St Davids, Pembrokeshire that focuses on regenerative farming and responsible local fishing. I decided to draw a section of coastline situated just off St Davids that would be local to the seaweed source. The ink has a slight smell of the sea about and in making the drawing it seemed appropriate to dilute it with sea water giving the drawing a grainy quality.
I’m interested in the temporal aspects of landscape, how it both evolves over deep geological time and within our own lifetime. Along the UK coastline you can see many cliff falls and I feel an increasing awareness that with climate warming these are only set to increase due to rising sea levels and extreme weather events.”

OCEAN INK product information and disclaimer
AML (Anti Money Laundering) checks
Due to government legislation, WWF-UK is obliged to perform identity checks on high value orders. If a buyer seeks to purchase an Artwork over £8,000 (or multiple Artworks with a cumulative value over £8,000), this is defined as a high value order. If the Artwork you are seeking to purchase is over this threshold, a deposit of £8,000 will be taken through the website to secure your interest in such Artwork. WWF-UK will then get in touch with the purchaser to facilitate the required anti-money laundering checks (AML checks). Once this has been completed to WWF-UK’s satisfaction a pending purchaser will be notified and arrangement will be made to take the remaining payment, and complete the sale(s). The £8,000 deposit will secure the Artwork whilst the AML checks are completed. Please note only one purchase process can be undertaken at a time so a purchaser wishing to buy multiple Artworks will have to buy them each separately. Full details of the purchase process and AML checks are available here - Terms and Conditions for Art For Your Oceans Sales - Terms and Conditions for Art For Your Oceans Sales
Collection will be for the buyer to arrange at their cost once WWF-UK confirm sale is complete. From this date, the buyer will be liable for storage and release fees, and from the business day following this date, insurance.
