J M Lofley’s (Tāngata Tiriti, Celtic, Viking) Ocean oracles and odysseys is an exploration of narratives and journeys spanning the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean.

Rimurapa (bull kelp) and rimu kakauroa (giant kelp) position themselves as message and medium, telling stories of possibility and opportunity.
