This painting is an abstraction based on an area of the Humber estuary where tidal flood water overwhelmed the banks to flood the freshwater reed beds. These reed beds are vital habitats acting as a climate 'buffer', filtering agricultural run-off, as well as being home to many species who cannot live in other places. This border land, rich in biodiversity, is threatened, on one side by rising sea-level and tidal incursions due to severe weather events, and on the other side by the detritus of human activity.  In producing this work, discarded plastics, tarpaulin, rope, wood and other debris found on site have been incorporated into the painting structure along with the paint.
