Gutweed is powerful stuff. I managed to develop multiple rolls 0f 35mm, 50ft of Super 8 and print 30 images with just one small handful.

Stringy plant and reel matter submerged together in salty water. Yellow watery images emerged with scrapes and scratches from sand and general sea debris.

Once gutweed has rooted it’s hard to get rid of, it latches on and clings tight.

It rapidly spreads and stretches out flat in the sun. It drifts upwards and flutters with water swells. Gutweed smells salty and herbal, similtaniously.
