When you look upon this series of works, infused with washed ashore Mendocino ocean treasures, I hope you:
Enjoy the Curves of the Kelp
 See the undulations of the seaweed
The branching patterns
The tendrils
How they might sway with the tides 
And imagine the tall kelp forests amidst streams of light
So perhaps 
You might remember your love for the ocean
You might reach out to think of the kelp forests 
And in that reaching perhaps there is a caring and a wanting to protect
