Imagine, me an intertidal art critic. I’ve posted three intimate intertidal images that may imitate art. Since my earliest visits to the the tide pools I have imagined that intertidal forms and patterns have similarities to art. This challenge is my opportunity to see if anyone agrees.
I came across this intertidal abstract when low tide exposed a red crust draped with articulated corrallines on a vertical rock face. I think I’m going to call it Wall of Reds.
The scenes below seem to imitate art too, but I will leave that decision to you.
This used to be a mussel bed. Now, gooseneck or leaf barnacles have proliferated, crowding the mussels. Does this look like art, or just a battle for space?
Anemones are always a treat for the visual senses. Do they imitate art?
This challenge pushed me a bit. If you have any ideas about how these intertidal scenes might or might not imitate art please let me know.
