'Tidal Lullaby' is a hauntingly evocative work by Jessie French that immerses into the enigmatic depths of the ocean. Experience its serene embrace whilst recognising the duality of its tranquil appearance, juxtaposed with profound mystery and immense power.

Presented on glass and framed in metal, the artwork is dominated by captivating translucent figures interlaced with darker shadows, suggesting the ocean's profound and potent energy.

This piece represents the culmination of years of material research and collaboration between artist and scientists and conservators worldwide, including crucial insights from conservation scientists at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. By employing a pioneering technique that converts a typically transient non-petrochemical plastic into a permanent form, this work is the first application of this groundbreaking method. This innovative approach not only reinforces the artwork’s connection to nature but also emphasises the delicate beauty and vulnerability of natural ecosystems.
