Shipwreck

This work is a synthesis of ideas about the self and broken landscapes and emotions. It is an expanded format painting, an assemblage of fabricated and found objects. Put together they form the image of a broken ship baking in the end-of-the-world sun. It is symbolic of the link between environmental and personal tragedy, and lost redemption.

This work was partly influenced by The Mosquito Coast and ideas about conformity and systems of authority which have the potential for disaster as well as freedom.
