Acrylic painting on flotsam by Tracey Yager
A few years ago a yacht anchored off Cascade Bay, Norfolk Island had the misfortune of slipping it’s anchor in the night and was wrecked on the basalt shoreline. For months after pieces of the boat would wash up on the rocks, I couldn’t resist them and while helping to clean up the shore I gathered lots of interesting pieces of timber – it’s possible I have half the boat in pieces in my studio!
It made perfect sense to paint a boat, in this case an old Norfolk Lighter Boat, on this lovely jagged piece of broken yacht.
