collage/assemblage; 22x15in, assorted materials, mounted on a box stretcher, Mar-24
This is my first physical art piece of 2024 which is about to be exhibited at a group show (Juxtapose) in Sechelt, BC.
Object and Image
Perhaps the act of seeing an object as an image or an image as an object is almost pre-verbal, relying on instinct and a way of noticing. I often explore the use of commonly found household materials like building paper or plastic nets in the process of creating shape and mark making. The materiality of these objects brings its own character to the image and transforms their companion parts, capturing an expression of feeling. Sometimes a story is born; sometimes a new perspective is revealed. For the Juxtaposed collage event, I have selected pieces that explore this relationship between image and object in a way that may stretch the boundaries of what is familiar to viewers.
Shots taken at Valencia´s Albufera. A natural fresh water lake that is separated from the salty Mediterranean by a narrow strip of land.
Fishing paraphernalia laying on the quay by the harbour at Ilfracombe, North Devon. Just after sunset and an hour after high tide.
So this is me being arty.... possibly. It's Scarborough again. With the ubiquitous fishing nets available for kids of all ages!
Very, very happy, after winning the Second Prize in the 2nd Edition of the Valencian Landscape Competition organized by the University of Valencia.
Photography is a minimalist view at sunset of the Fishing Arts of my beloved Albufera.
Congratulate the other two winners, Fernando Prieto and Sara Portella.

We had the same driver/guide for our whole visit who was most obliging when it came to stopping to take photos. This is the first place he took us at the start of our tour. Negombo is a town just outside of Colombo which is a popular resort but also a major fishing area. This family were one of several along the beach checking the nets after the men had returned from a fishing trip, Mr Crow was supervising it all
I share today with all of you a photography in B&W version of another different weekend of my series made at the Albufera of Valencia. One of the most important wetlands in Spain.
I wanted to transmit a more dramatic sky just at the sunset.
On the technical side, say that I only used a ten steps screwed Neutral filter conbined with a neutral gradient three steps filter.
I hope you like it. Have a nice Monday. :)

morning light warming the entangled mass of nets caught my eye thought it might make an interesting photo :)
Greek fishermen stand nattering after a morning spent repairing their nets, in the port of Heraklion on the island of Crete.
A baking hot day, and still wearing jackets and body warmers.

Fishing nets have been used widely in the past, including by stone age societies.
The oldest known fishing net is the net of Antrea, found with other fishing equipment in the Karelian town of Antrea.
The net was made from willow, and dates back to 8300 BC.
The remnants of another fishing net dates back to the late Mesolithic, and were found together with sinkers at the bottom of a former sea.
American Native Indians on the Columbia River wove seine nets from spruce root fibres or wild grass, again using stones as weights.
For floats they used sticks made of cedar which moved in a way which frightened the fish and helped keep them together.
With the help of large canoes, pre-European Maori deployed seine nets which could be over one thousand metres long.
The nets were woven from green flax, with stone weights and light wood or gourd floats, and could require hundreds of men to haul.
Fishing nets are well documented in antiquity.
They appear in Egyptian tomb paintings from 3000 BC.
In ancient Greek literature, Ovid makes many references to fishing nets, including the use of cork floats and lead weights.
Pictorial evidence of Roman fishing comes from mosaics which show nets.
In a parody of fishing, a type of gladiator called retiarius was armed with a trident and a cast net.
In Norse mythology the sea giantess Rán uses a fishing net to trap lost sailors.
References to fishing nets can also be found in the New Testament.
Jesus Christ was reputedly a master in the use of fishing nets.
Fishing nets have not evolved greatly, and many contemporary fishing nets would be recognised for what they are in Neolithic times.
I would have that on my wall... LOL

Nets set the boundaries for paintball fields. These nets casually blow in the wind, waiting to provide protection to spectators.

The last day of the photo challenge, and I finally found the fishermen – just as they were leaving. Nets were in, the shore swept, the command came over the loadspeaker, and off they went . . . .

This is a detail from a large image I took, see the comment box. I liked the holes in the net and evidence of various repairs in this enlarged version.
