What Kelp Does For Us

"I take pattern and forms found in nature and abstract them to create mixed media installation pieces using man made objects which are found on coastlines and in waterways.”Camilla Brendon is an installation artist who works using largely found, foraged and donated materials. Coming from a painting background bold colour and striking forms are characteristic to her practice.Coast is an ongoing project, (est 2017), that explores oceans and waterways. Work made in the project is intended to improve ocean literacy and spark dialogue around wider ocean issues in the global community.Coast combines art, activism, science and education to produce work which is interdisciplinary. During the project Brendon has collaborated with marine biologists, plastics researchers and water maintenance groups. Projects within Coast include mixed age art/science workshops, talks, artwork being showcased at a variety of venues and events, spanning far outside the gallery space and into public spaces, science spaces, educational settings and political conferences.By creating bold and enticing work from reused and recycled man made objects Brendon captures the attention of wide audiences. The work often mimics natural, water based things which are threatened by contemporary society, like mussels clinging to rugged rocks or phytoplankton in the wide, cold atlantic ocean.
