Nedret Andre My abstract paintings are about the beauty and interconnectedness of life in our oceans & fast disap Seagrass needs light for photosynthesis.

My paintings are about color and the sensations of light that is essential for seagrass survival. The interconnectedness of a vast number of species sheltered, fed and protected by seagrass habitats is inspiration for Nedret’s abstract landscapes. These quiet plants hold down 50% of the oceans CO2s and provide shoreline protection against coastal erosion. Globally we are loosing 50 football fields

of seagrass a day due to reduction of water clarity. Man made run-off (fertilizers), sedimentation and turbidity impacts the coastal regions where seagrass thrive. Intertidal was inspired by field trips to the North Shore with BU’s Novak Lab. Here, I got to harvest and replant seagrass with the conservation group. I experienced the delicate balance of thousands of animals and plants dependent on seagrass beds first hand. The rich biodiversity, movement and energy is what I try to capture in Intertidal. I’m interested in the multiplicities of life in the water; simultaneous occurrences. In Reaching, I paint an almost architectural form cascading, or reaching towards the light. Here, I am fascinated with the magical concept of aerenchyma; how the air channels in the blades of seagrass make them stand upright and reach for light. The painting is built on precarious balance between many different elements; fluttering fish tail and biomass floating around drips of paint. Thickly applied paint suggests solid areas where for a moment we are given rest areas and temporal stability.
