Plight of our Ocean was created as a way of reflecting the state of the waters with all the rubbish discarded in them.  I chose Orca whales as I love these creatures and like the contrast the black & white givea to the rest of the colourful fish.  I painted each orca with scars and trapped in rope or rubbish to show the trauma they have living in our oceans.  The sea bed has a subtle display of discarded tyres off into the distance.  This was in reference to photos I had seen of actual ocean beds covered in tyre after tyre.  There are 59 tropical fish, each one painted with different markings or colours.  No two fish are the same.  2 Jelly fish & 6 orcas.  Painted in acrylic.
