Title: Spring Tides
Anna says: My practice is
reportage through observational drawing, and I am currently engaged
in a series of illustrations documenting the decline of the fishing
industry in Newlyn. This pertinent local issue is part of a global problem
and my work aims to promote discussion on the larger environmental and
cultural questions. Is over-fishing the predominant cause of reduced
fish stocks or is pollution also to blame? Does the decommissioning
of fishing boats serve its intended purpose or just destroy our rich
maritime heritage? Is the development of fishing harbours into tourist
attractions and marinas the only way to create employment?
Media: Watercolour, ink,
pencil and oil pastel.
