Images of ghost nets reference the nets that are now lost at sea, and threaten wildlife (especially cetaceans) with entanglement and ultimately starvation.
A ghostly boat hovers above the cage-like structure in the foreground. The cage/net could be both protective and threatening. Stormy colour overshadows the picture – thin, watery paint is weathered and scratched, the materiality of the painting as object is also important to me. I'm aiming for a see-saw between abstract and figurative.
