Troubled Sea

2016 Competition entry

Darren Clarke

Details:
Not Signed
Linocut print
(40 cm x 100 cm) x 4

Description:

Troubled sea is four prints depicted as one.  

The end panels depict a strong young man overshadowed by the beasts above him. These beasts represent the man's fear and anxiety. Fear of the future, fear of having no future, fear of uncertainty. The anxiety of a life altering chance right under his feet roars and reminds the man of his insecurities.

The sea represents time, with lack of time being another fear. The sea is constantly breathing and rolling just like our lives and those of others which are constantly changing.  

Will we sail the sea or will we drown?
