'Seaworthy Vessels' was a monoprint exhibited at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition 2022, coordinated by Royal Academician Alison Wilding, exploring the theme of ‘Climate’.
The monoprint captured the ‘ghosts’ of plastic litter, found on a short walk beside the River Don in Sheffield. The lifecycle of plastic utilises finite resources and contributes to greenhouse gas emissions. Sheffield is land-locked, but plastic litter joins waterways, and eventually the sea. This print aims to evoke a feeling of being underwater, viewing an abundance of plastic waste.
