Hopkins’ Rose

This print is part of the exhibition ‘Nudibranch’ by Coco Lom at The Book Club in Shoreditch, London. The exhibition is inspired by Nudibranchs, more commonly known as sea slugs. These luminous molluscs are famous for their psychedelic shapes and patterns, with each piece from the show celebrating a different member of the sea slug family.

 

Hopkins’ Rose

Scientific name - Okenia rosacea

AKA Hopkins’ Rose

 

This bubble-gum sea slug blooms in the tide pools of California. A dazzling pink showstopper, it grows fast, using a built-in muscular pump to suck up its lunch. It gathers its vibrant colour, like flamingos do, from the pink tissue of the organisms it eats. Nestled among its tentacles is a pair of pink rhinophores, small horns to ‘sniff out’ what’s going on in the ever-moving world around it.
