Rhythm; in nature, and blue; the deep yonder from whence this seaweed came.
… ‘And behold
The blue planet steeped in its dream
Of reality.’
James Dickey US Poet Laureate (1969)
How to convey the movement of the sea? In a series of letters John Ruskin (1857) urged students to learn from nature, rather than the ‘life class’. Nature, is never static, but in a constant flux, not unlike musical notation. Making subtle use of tone and half tone, change and interchange it can be possible to convey the rhythm of the ocean.
