Helen TIERNAN
1952 -
oil on canvas
180 x 110 cm
Sea incorporates a layering of time, from rock art depictions of fish to a homage to Micky of Ulladulla (Dhurga, c.1820 – 1891) whose depictions of fishing on the south coast of NSW in the 1880s is recreated in Tiernan’s painting, to a majestic timeless whale. The viewer is drawn to the amusing addition of a rubber duck, a commentary on overconsumption and the pollution of plastics in our planet’s water systems.
