'In a Pinch'
‘In a Pinch’, 2023, 40cm diameter x 2cm.
Mixed media on canvas, including: Oil paint, acrylic paint, spray paint, acrylic ink, oil pastel, aluminium can elements, texture paste, gesso
‘In a Pinch’ celebrates the intricate beauty of this marine creature but also reflects on our impact on marine wildlife. I hope that through the beauty of art, we can question our established behaviours and move towards protecting fragile ecosystems.
In the background, you will notice the inclusion of aluminium ring pulls, sourced from discarded cans. These elements serve as a subtle reminder of the environmental challenges our oceans face, particularly the issue of waste disposal. It is a poignant portrayal of the profound impact our actions have on marine life, as they strive to coexist amidst the remnants of our consumption.
Through this artwork, I aim to evoke a sense of reflection and responsibility, urging viewers to contemplate the consequences of our actions and their effect on the delicate balance of nature. It serves as a call to action, urging us all to be mindful of our waste and to strive for a more sustainable and harmonious coexistence with the natural world.
‘In a Pinch’ was a finalist in SAA’s 2023 ‘Artist of the Year’ competition in the ‘Wildlife’ category. It was displayed in London’s Espacio Gallery along with the other finalists.
