JASON Limited Edition of 3

‘Sailors Adrift’, tells the stories of young men at sea . The fine art prints of hand-coloured and embroidered photographs reflect on the sea, departures, destinations and harbors for the mariners.

Traces of embroidery mimic a cartographer’s hand, depicting travels on endless oceans and seas. Bold blocks of colour evoke distant landmasses found on ancient maps. Much like tattooed tears these lines and colours recount the stories of the sailors – naval wars fought, new lands discovered, struggles against adverse weather and the loneliness within.

Melancholy, longing, male vulnerability and sexuality are reflected in their never smiling eyes, photographed as mementoes for loved ones they may never see again.
