‘Dabberlocks 3’ is a cameraless photogravure etching of seaweed, Alaria esculenta. The naturally spiralled form of this piece was chosen for its beauty, and as a universal symbol of growth, evolution and interconnection.
Alaria esculenta is a cold-water kelp species expected to be negatively impacted by climate change, particularly ocean warming. The Natural History Museum London and Marine Conservation Society UK use it as an indicator species - one whose presence, absence or abundance reflects a specific environmental factor, marking a change in the condition of an ecosystem.
