'Layers of different seaweeds tangle and untangle in the current. They are neither liquid nor solid. Rippling they break through the sea’s surface, reticent, but at the same time lascivious in their twists and turns'.
On Wednesday 26 April from 15.00-17.00, Miek Zwamborn will share some of the encounters from her anthology, The Seaweed Collector's Handbook, where she swirls, drifts and dives between poems, works of art and design, historical facts, biographical fragments, recipes and scientific research.
About the speaker
Miek Zwamborn is a writer and artist. She lives and works on the Isle of Mull, where she runs the project Knockvologan Studies, which explores the natural environment (and its bountiful seaweed) with scientists, designers and artists.
