On the east coast of Ireland terns, geese, swans and all manner of wading birds find their home - some resident and some occasional visitors flying in for the season. They feast on the low growing coastal plants that form a beautiful botanical tapestry woven through the salt marshes, tidal channels, reedbeds, low sandhills and shingle that form this unique landscape. I gathered snippets of this hardy yet delicately beautiful botanical bounty on a bright and windy summer's day; wild carrot, sea beet, campion, kidney vetch, sandwort, samphire, spurge and reeds. The two panels I created with them evoke that low key, low-lying and windswept landscape - shaped by their liminal situation between the forces of the sea and the land. Botanical panels conceived and commissioned by www.zeloufandbell.com for their Beach Console. Photographs by Roland at www.paschhoff.com
