When you close your eyes, what do you see?

Images leak into vision through the unlocking of my unconscious mind to depict worlds invented through wandering imagination. Some vivid, some warm, some calming. Colours morph and blend in a symphony of hues never witnessed in the waking world, casting the scenery in a luminous glow. The very fabric of reality unravels, giving way to the extraordinary and the fantastical.

Welcome to my Dreamscape.

[Ghost fishing, weaving, re-using ghost nets, Healthy Seas]
2021

The Ghost Urchin is made of 10 panels woven with ghost fishing gear retrieved from The North Sea by Ghost Diving and Healthy Seas. By untangling, unravelling, sorting and cleaning the Ghost nets, this ‘immortal material’ can be prepared for weaving. With each net having a distinct texture, coarseness and colouring, it is possible to express tactile qualities similar to that of a real sea urchin.
