Sargassum Tide features works made by Louise Frances Smith using wireweed seaweed and Pacific oysters, two ‘non-native’ species currently thriving on the UK coastlines due to climate change.
Louise has collected these materials from her local coastline to create a new body of experimental work that shows the repercussions of human intervention on our fragile coastal ecosystems.
