Exploring the textures, shapes, and colors of seashells, London-based artist Rowan Mersh creates eye-catching abstract sculptures that seem to be from another world.
On beginning a new project I first make a small sample to understand how best to work with the material, using elements of my chosen material such as size, shape and colour of the material to inform surface pattern. This gives me a guide as to how scale and shape the resulting project. My aim with every project is to expose the true and often hidden beauty of the material I am working with and I feel this is only possible by listening to the material from day one.
