Artwork Description

Shipwrecking

0.0 x 0.0

My ancestor, privateer merchant navy Captain Henry Passmore sailed heavily armed merchant ships in the C18th and was likely killed when his main mast collapsed whilst coming aground on the Scarweather Sands or at Cape Grisnez, France in 1810 in a violent storm. My oil paintings embrace the concept of the “stratification of memory” through historical referencing. My recent work focuses on the significance of location on my family history and social history. 91 x 61 x 3.5 cm AUD $2100 Available through www.saatchiart.com/ gregcliffeartist
