Triassic Circle

This artwork captures a remarkable coastal rock formation from Layde Bay near Clevedon, showcasing a vivid array of intertidal lichens and algae upon weathered sedimentary stone. The rough, fissured sandstone canvas features striking patches of red, black, and green lichens, mingling with clusters of black algae, revealing the resilience of these symbiotic organisms within the harsh marine tidal zone. The composition celebrates the natural artistry born from environmental forces, where saltwater and sunlight coax a textured tapestry of biological and geological interplay.
