The Royal Cambrian Academy of Art Open 2024

Rogue Waves 7a was selected for the 2024 Open Exhibition at The Royal Cambrian Academy of Art.

The selection panel was Nick Elphick, Ann Lewis PRCA and Jeremy Yates VPRCA.

Inspired by the Seneca quote “We are waves of the same sea”, this unique edition (1/1) screen-print was created through experimentation and happenstance, repeatedly adding layers and actively encouraging imperfections whilst harnessing the energy of the process.

In an age when politicians and media openly describe refugees and asylum seekers as “swarms”, “waves” and an “invasion”, my work seeks to portray an alternative vision, with abstracted waves of positivity representing a people not defined by place, origins or borders.

The work is available for sale here, along with other one-off prints from the series.
