Alice Hume: Wild Water
This body of work takes influence from coastal landscapes,
depicted as both a source of life and potential danger. A danger, which is often
expressed in media reports on the global migration and refugee tragedies at
sea.
Combining this contemporary theme with historic references,
Humes cites Ruta Sepetys鈥� Salt to the Sea, a
historical text documenting one of history's worst maritime tragedies. In 1945
three torpedoes were launched at the Wilhelm Gustloff a German military
transport ship, resulting in the deaths of around 9,000 civilians, almost half
were children.
