Description
While seaweed is often imagined in cool greens or earthy neutrals, this striking Plocamium specimen reveals the vivid, fiery palette hidden just beneath the waves. Leaning hot pink with delicate blushes of bright orange, its intricate, fern-like fronds bring an unexpected warmth and kinetic energy to coastal botanical art.
Sustainably gathered along the tide lines of the Northern Rivers, NSW, Australia, each delicate branch was floated and pressed in the studio to preserve its fluid, natural form. The resulting print is a physical piece of the coast resting gently on paper, imprinted with the memory of a particular stretch of sand, a single tide, and a sun-drenched day by the ocean.
Crafted with beachcombers, sea lovers, and thoughtful collectors in mind, this piece offers a quiet anchor for your space. It serves as a striking daily reminder of the unexpected color found in nature's quietest corners, and the beautiful rhythm of living with the tides.
All prints are unframed and posted with hard backing card for protection and sealed in a biodegradable cellulose slip.

Behind The Brand
With The Tides is a studio practice rooted in devotion to the ocean and the natural world. Based along the Northern Rivers coastline of NSW, Australia, the artwork celebrates the transient, delicate beauty of washed-up marine flora through traditional botanical pressing.
Every design begins on the beach. Seaweed specimens are gathered by hand from the shoreline, taking only what the tide has already offered, never harvesting from living reefs or rock pools.
In the studio, each specimen is gently washed and floated on watercolor paper submerged in a shallow tray. As it settles into its natural form, the paper is carefully lifted out and transferred to a wooden press.
The pressing process takes days or weeks to complete. The resulting prints hold a tactile memory of a specific tide, weather pattern, and stretch of coast.
