Description
Stepping away from the vibrant pinks typically found in the Plocamium family, this delicate specimen reveals a quieter, more understated side of ocean flora. Featuring soft peachy tones that gently fade into a natural ombré, its intricate, fern-like branches evoke the quiet atmosphere of the coastline at first light.
Sustainably gathered along the beaches of the Northern Rivers, NSW, Australia, each fine strand was carefully washed, floated, and pressed in the studio. The final print preserves a physical fragment of the ocean resting gently on paper, imprinted with the memory of a singular tide, a specific stretch of shore, and a serene day spent by the water.
Designed for ocean souls, beachcombers, and lovers of organic minimalism, this piece brings a soft, grounding warmth to your walls. It serves as a gentle daily reminder of the quiet beauty nature reveals in unexpected places, and the grounding wisdom 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.
