Sea Salp

This lonely sea salp got sidetracked, swimming down to avoid the sunlight, and propelling through the plants. It is about the size of your thumb.

They are normally found in swarms. The good news is that at night they consume carbon containing plants from the water surface, and then their fecal pellets sink the carbon down to deep water, keeping the carbon of the atmosphere!

Sea Salps reproduce asexually, and switch genders at several points during their lives.

Artist Bio

Linda explores the intersection of quilting and fabric manipulation within the realm of contemporary fiber art. Through a process of experimentation with texture, material, and technique, she transforms fabric into expressive, tactile landscapes. Her work celebrates the sensory richness of the natural world — the play of light on water, the softness of moss, the movement of wind, and the shimmer of leaves.

Blending traditional quilting methods with innovative fabric manipulation, Linda creates pieces that invite viewers to not only see nature, but to feel it. Each stitch, fold, and layer becomes a meditation on light, rhythm, and texture — an exploration of how fabric can capture the fleeting beauty and quiet power of the natural environment.
