The end of a lovely day on Lundy, waiting for the SS Oldenburg to carry us back to North Devon. I looked down onto the granite boulders and swirling seaweed being pushed this way and that by the unceasing mauling of the swell, wind and tides.
Moorland hawthorn trees are stunted and twisted into striking shapes by ferocious winds and weather. They are hosts to mosses and lichens which live symbiotically on the cracked bark of trunk and branches. They also bear startling orange/red haws in autumn which contrast with the fading, wind torn leaves. The circle of life repeats.
Bladderwrack seaweed hangs in azure water, shapes and shadows shift above the sandy floor as light filters down through a gentle swaying sea. An inquisitive seahorse takes centre stage.
Medium: An original hand cut and printed woodcut. Unmounted and unframed.
