Seaweedfilter - Shop


‘Seaweedfilter’ is one of the artworks part of the overarching artistic research project ‘Dead Zones’ . 
Micro algae blooms in coastal waters are fed by nutrient streams from land and create so called ‘dead zones’. Seaweeds are macro algae, and just like micro algae they can take up nutrients very well. This way seaweed farms in estuaries could potentially contribute to the development of dead zone areas, by funtioning as nutrient filters. 

All works are unique and made with different types of seaweed. 
Framing is done by Goedman Lijstenmakers, using sustainable Dutch wood and 70% art glass. 

If you are interested in buying a work, please send an email to suzette@bousema.eu.

These works are made from organic material, which means that over time most of them will change in color. 

The black ones stay similar.
The red / purple ones are dark in the beginning, but become bright purple over time, and salt cristals will form. 
The bright green ones will loose their color. 
The dark green ones will fade a little in darkness, but not completely. 

If you would like to receive an updated photo of what the works looks like at the minute, you can request that via suzette@bousema.eu. 

These photos were taken 9 months after making them in 2022:
