Limpet Grazing Tracks

2023

During a visit to the beach, I noticed a pattern of marks on a boulder and took photos. Researching them back at home, I discovered that these were made by the Common Limpet when it feeds, scraping its radula over the rock surface.

Inspired by these sets of parallel lines, arranged in arcs, I created a brush based on them in Procreate, my drawing app. These compositions were the works resulting from experimenting with this new tool.
