about

The Fantastic Sea (1989) was originally made for a museum exhibition. Covering 73% of the earth’s surface, the sea has ever influenced humankind. It has produced mystery, terror, legend, means of transport, exploitation - and great tranquility. The work explores all of these aspects. Natural sounds are used to recreate huge storms and shipwrecks. Experience being ‘below decks’ in a sailing rocking, creaking and thudding into big seas; the mysterious ‘deep’ - where grotesque looking fish have been shaped by enormous pressures. There is a terrifying sea serpent - an impression of a monster that grabbed sailors off their ships. Ulysses hears the Sirens, Atlantis blows up, whilst the ancient Egyptians never sailed too far from their shores - being ever fearful of falling off the edge of the world. The placid calm of children playing on a warm beach.
