The Sea

One way or another we are all connected to the sea and dependent on it. On a recent visit to Kyparissi in the south of Greece I found myself relaxed by the sounds and movement of waves on the beach. It was an almost hypnotic experience and I thought about the way human activity is having a dreadful impact on the oceans of the world. The sea also links us to the moon and wider universe and is a constant reminder of our frailty and insignificance. I’ve tried to explore some of these ideas in this mixed media piece on paper.
