A silent artist book created using printmaking and ink illustrations, and hand-bound, created for the final project of my Master's degree at the Glasgow School of Art.
This publication embodies a stark ratio emerging from research: for every whale or dolphin lost to entanglement, four fragments of fishing gear persist. The publication, a 100-page visual reckoning, captures the tension between survival and loss within the marine ecosystems that sustain us. Its central imagery stems from monoprinted textures of a fruit net, an everyday object reimagined as the ghost nets that haunt the oceans. This texture acts as a visual anchor across the project, informing the publication and other responses.
