Artist Stephanie King’s work of mixed media and botanical illustrations containing real seaweed and botanical pressings offer both a realistic and whimsical assemblage of time and place. Stephanie takes a Victorian tradition of seaweed pressing into the future with modern shapes and ideas while pushing traditional boundaries and approaches. Each design strikes a balance between experimentation and refinement.

Along with being used as an art medium, seaweeds are important ecological resources, producing oxygen while absorbing carbon dioxide in marine environments and play a major role in the maintenance of the earth’s ecosystem. All of the seaweed in this exhibit was personally foraged and ethically sourced by the artist from locations along the Atlantic coast of Massachusetts, Maine, and England, UK.
