Ghost net

2015 - ongoing
Chromogenic prints from negative, installation.
Exploring the aesthetics, affect and stories of discarded, lost or stored fishing net, lines and traps on boats, docks and waste dumps. Each is used in different ways, variances intimate to fishermen/women. Each mound’s intimate folds tells the story of manual labour, produce caught, distance travelled and destinations of vessels.
