2019—2022

In this series of 365, “each painting contains a different body of water, where the horizon line, time of day, and weather conditions vary in every unique view,” writes Kate Reeve-Edwards. “The painting process reacts and enhances the objects, working with them to create a new life […] A circular ecosystem of reuse and repair is what Cass is gently encouraging. The hand-held world of the tin is regenerated: these small objects which once contained tobacco, mints, or teabags now convey new, bigger ideas.” These artworks look to the past, to the years they’ve spent on this Earth, while also paying homage to the sea. They speak of function, process, everyday life and the passage of time. Though painted across several years, each is titled for a day of the year. A year which, like those to come, will break ocean temperature records.
