In 2010–11, I lived briefly in Brussels. I'd visit the Jeu de Balle flea market most mornings, discovering surfaces – boxes, drawers, cards, wooden trunks – to paint onto. Since then, I’ve worked exclusively on (mostly small-scale) found objects. This piece depicts the sea, inspired by Van Eertvelt, reimagining a scene by the old master some 500 years later, amid rising sea levels and warming oceans. Like all my recent work, it subtly reflects on the changing state of our seas due to climate change. Painted predominantly in oil, it combines historic reference with contemporary environmental concern, using reclaimed materials to highlight the connection between past, present, and an uncertain future.
