Homage to the bull kelp of the Sonoma and Mendocino Coast: scan incorporating illustration of Nereocystis luetkeana by Postels from Illustrationes algarum. The ghost-like image of the Nereocystis refers to the die off of bull kelp on the north coast of California during the years 2016-2020. 2021 has provided a year of great upwelling and cold ocean in California and the ever-opportunistic bull kelp has been making a comeback, despite the explosion of herbivorous purple urchins, proving its resilience and ability to surprise us with its ingenuity. The cyclical nature of bull kelp abundance has been common knowledge to native and commercial harvesters and fishermen for centuries.
