Kelp’s Last Light
35 x 35 x 28cm
Bull kelp, steel, lamp fitting, bulb
Kelp's Last Light is a lamp made from bull kelp (Durvillaea potatorum), a species critical to the health of Australia’s marine ecosystems. As bull kelp forests rapidly decline due to climate change and environmental stressors, this piece serves as a tribute to its critical role in supporting our marine environment. Bull kelp helps protect coastlines by absorbing wave energy, provides shelter and breeding grounds for marine life, and aids in carbon sequestration. This lamp, crafted from a material whose future is uncertain, captures the last light of an ecosystem in transition.
I acknowledge that the Palawa people of Lutruwita were the first to use bull kelp to create water carriers thousands of years ago. They crafted these vessels with great respect for the natural world. The knowledge and sustainable practices of the Palawa people continue to inspire my work today.
