Collection: PRESSED BY THE SEA

Where Marine Flora Meets Marbled Ink

Collected from the shores and tidal bays of East Hampton, each seaweed specimen in this series is hand-gathered and meticulously pressed by CEDAR Y SAND. Mounted on our signature suminagashi marbled paper—where ink drifts like water on the wind—these artworks capture the quiet poetry of the coastline.

From Ulva and kelp to fine filamented forms, each pressed composition becomes a portrait of motion stilled. The swirling ink patterns echo the shifting tides, while the seaweed itself preserves nature’s delicate structure—pressed, preserved, and framed by the sea.

Every piece is professionally mounted in an archival mat and arrives ready to frame. Part of our Suminagashi Impressions series within the larger Suminagashi Springs collection, these one-of-a-kind works celebrate botanical beauty, coastal memory, and the handmade process.
