Graphite drawing by talented COTO Andrew.

“When the theme around “perspective” was given to me, I didn’t fancy drawing railway lines that appear to meet in the distance - I wanted to do something with water! 

My inspiration (and starting point) was “waterfall” by M.C. Escher because I like the idea behind the work. 

For my drawing I had to play around with some loose drawing of waterfalls and how to place them. I don’t usually draw rough sketches of any artwork ideas I have because I know what I want something to look like. 

I also had to “marry” perspective with illusion to make the image work. 

A series of tall buildings have water channels on the roofs that connect in a way that would be impossible. The waterfalls don’t fall as they should and the support pillar aren’t possible - even the sky wouldn’t be visual around the buildings, especially surrounded by the sea. 

This all adds up to impossible impossibilities.”

“My drawing is of a Polar Bear having to share its accommodation with an Artic Fox – a predicament forced upon them because of Climate Change.  

The Polar Bear is telling us what we have already know but showing us how serious the problem has become. In summary, this really is the tip of the iceberg.”

“A simple painting where the hourglass take centre stage. A power station ‘chugs’ away polluting the atmosphere while rising sea levels threaten to engulf it with the flooding sead water. In stark contrast, severse drought attacks land once full of green pasture leading to the wildfires destroying large areas of trees so the cycle continues.  

The dark sky is the emptiness that will find us if we don’t get a grip of what we’re doing to our planet. The tiny spots of colour in the sky represent distans planets that may contain other life forms. They are way out of reach for us so we’ll never know one way or the other.  

Specks of white are the floating debris from various forms of pollution we choose to send skyward.  

The hourglass depicts the sea ice rapidly melting away causing the chain reaction that affects everything else. One day, the top of the hourglass will be empty – meaning when time runs out we have nothing. “

“I decided to do a collage for this idea because I wanted to use man-made products that are destroying our oceans and marine life.  

My artwork allows a passing Turtle to underline what our plastic waste is doing to marine life. The world over. You may notice other discarded products -fishing nets, plastic bottles etc but, in some way, they all contribute to the suffering of our marine life. And the reason? Because marine life doesn’t wear clothes. “ Collage and mixed media on board
