Diminishing Forests Limited Edition Prints
"Diminishing Forests" is a poignant reflection on the endangered giant kelp forests of Tasmania, captured through the intricate strokes of colour pencils on black paper. This piece focuses on a close-up view of the kelp strands and their gas bladders highlighted in green, olive, and golden yellow hues, as they are gently pulled sideways by the ocean currents.
In this artwork, the contrast between the vibrant kelp and the stark black background emphasizes the fragility and beauty of these underwater forests. The detailed rendering of the kelp’s textures and colours brings to life the delicate balance within these ecosystems, underscoring the significant loss of 95% of Tasmania's giant kelp forests.
"Diminishing Forests" seeks to raise awareness about the critical state of these vital marine environments. By focusing on the intricate details and the dynamic movement of the kelp, the drawing aims to evoke a sense of urgency and a call to action to protect and restore these underwater forests. Through this piece, I hope to convey the importance of preserving these essential ecosystems and the profound impact of their decline on marine life. "Diminishing Forests" serves as a visual reminder of the need for conservation efforts and the collective responsibility to protect our planet's natural wonders. Each strand of kelp in this drawing is a testament to the resilience and beauty of the ocean's flora, encouraging a deeper connection and commitment to environmental stewardship.
The reference image was captured by Tasha Waller at the Actaeon Islands, southern Tasmania.
