“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 in Where Once the Waters. “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. At the same time, they pay homage to the sea, a great muse to so many. They speak of function, process and time passing; of the tide that daily enters and exits Venice, as it has done for over a millennium. Find below a selection, photographed around Venice.
