About Entanglement: Seaweed-inspired Art Exhibition and Workshop with Cally Nurse

Cally, transforms washed up seaweed by combining it with copper and beach finds, both man-made and natural. The result is an intricate dance of contrasting materials and dynamic forms which has been described as “a beautiful way to intertwine the natural and industrial in a new and arresting approach.”
“Washed up seaweed is often overlooked and avoided but I find it inspiring. My artworks highlight its extraordinary forms, textures and colours. I combine it with other beach finds and encase it in copper to make unique and intriguing 2D and 3D works,” explains Cally. “I grew up by the sea but had no idea there were so many species of seaweed in the UK, each with their own distinct characteristics.”

Scotland has a long relationship with seaweed from the 18th century kelp harvesters to today when it is being farmed for a range of innovative uses in nutrition, pharmaceuticals and bio-plastics. It also has an important role in the face of accelerated climate change by supporting biodiversity, soaking up carbon dioxide in the air and providing coastal protection as the sea warms and rises. See Entanglement for free here until 2nd September (closed Tuesdays)

From 2pm until 4pm On Sunday August 25th, there will be an opportunity to join Cally for a seaweed-inspired and infused workshop where you can make your own artwork and find out how to use seaweed in the kitchen, in the garden and even in the bath!
£25 - Adults. £15 - 12-18 years. Includes £5 donation to the Scottish Fisheries Museum.
