Ocean Breeze
- Ode to Granville Harbour
‘Ocean Breeze’ was inspired by a visit to Granville Harbour on Tasmania’s windswept, rugged West Coast. Although relatively calm when I was there, I noted evidence of wild weather in the landscape and the ocean’s debris scattering the shore.
The artwork is constructed from seaweed paper, made from seaweed which I gathered whilst walking the shores of Granville Harbour.
The skirt of the dress represents the rocks and water, and the outer part represents the wind. I have attempted to convey a sense of the beauty and wildness of the area, and the joyous experience of my walk.
This artwork was shortlisted for the 2021 National Shoebox Sculpture Prize in Deloraine Tasmania.
