Dimensions: 250 x 60 X 45cm
This sculpture aims at highlighting the importance of our Bull Kelp Forests of rugged wave-exposed rocky coastlines around New Zealand.
"Dedication to Our Marine Forests" is a sculptural masterpiece meticulously crafted from Andesite, macrocarpa, rope, and steel. Its dimensions, at 250 x 60 x 45cm, command attention and significance.
The artwork serves as a poignant reminder of the critical importance of New Zealand's Bull Kelp Forests, which are often overlooked. Amie Redpath's sculpture is a symbolic representation of these underwater wonders. The texture and appearance of the carved seaweed vesicle mirror the intricacies of the underwater ecosystem.
The integration of braided rope into the vesicle emphasizes the delicate balance and interdependence between humanity and marine life. It's a powerful commentary on the ecological, cultural, and environmental challenges faced by bull kelp, which are threatened by factors like pollution and environmental changes.
A collaboration of Amie Redpath, stone carver, and John Lolesi, wood crafter and Knot Tyer.
