Panthalassa
Panthalassa was the super-ocean that surrounded the super-continent Pangaea, until the landmass began to break up around 250 million years ago. As a title for this series of photographs, Panthalassa (from the Greek πᾶν “all” and θάλασσα “sea”) is used to enforce the notion that these are each captures of the same ocean. Our World Ocean. Stating the location of each photograph in the series is not important. Spanning twelve years (and counting) these photographs have been taken as research (for painting projects), during material gathering trips, and from the artist’s studio. They link to Cass’ The Sea from Here series, and other works exploring climate change and specifically variations in sea-level rise.
A set of ten (pictured above) will be shown at Tatha Gallery, Fife
