Flowers of the Sea by Julie Blyfield

In a new body of large-scale copper objects, Julie Blyfield, a South Australian metal artist with a practice spanning 35 years, investigates the unique red seaweeds found along the coast of southern Australia. Shown as a sculptural installation in a darkened gallery space, Blyfield’s work references 19th-century specimen albums and highlights the fragility of our precious marine environment and the elements that threaten and sustain them. Commissioned and presented by Samstag for SALA Festival.
