The rocks in the background are created by layering fall daimio oak and nine bark leaves over different levels of Arches watercolour paper with accents of asparagus fern and larkspur greenery for the seaweed and feather leaf fern for the trees. Fall oak leaves were used for the beach and along the shoreline. The rocks in the foreground are covered in asparagus fern over an underlay of tropaeolum leaves. Acrylic paint was applied to white marguerite petals for the water.
Bay of Fundy National Park, New Brunswick
Camping at the Bay of Fundy National Park meant lobster boiling in a pot on the camp stove, watching the tide roll in, driving through the Point Wolfe Covered Bridge, and swimming in this cove at low tide. This piece reflects an abstract interpretation of the Hopewell rocks along the shoreline as well as, the layering of pressed botanical materials to capture the seaweed covered rocks seen at low tide.
