Serious Play
Who says kelp is just a smelly, slimy weed? London-based artist and activist Camilla Brendon uses bright colours and playful shapes to create aesthetically intriguing ‘kelp’ scenes as beautiful as what you find under water.
In Kelp Forest – Enhancing Biodiversity and Fighting Climate Change she recreated a kelp forest out of 100% single use and salvaged materials, predominantly plastics. The forest was suspended from the ceiling and visitors were able to walk amongst the kelp as if they were diving in a kelp forest. Her work intends to spark deeper conversation around sustainability and ways to mitigate climate change. More at camillabrendon.com and on Instagram.
