The work is inspired by research in Cornwall, UK during a short term residency at The Net Loft, Polperro, a building renovated by The National Trust. 

In 1817 Polperro suffered one of its most devastating storms and thirty fishing boats were completely destroyed, along with property and livelihoods.

I made thirty monotypes and published a book containing images of them with poetry, titled "Lines from the Net Loft".
The thirty works are unique; I painted into each piece.

The board is made from the same material as the internal roof of the Net Loft and the materials used were also carefully considered as references to work at sea and domestic life on shore, using boat, household, acrylic and oil paint.The raised and textured surface is made by pressing net fragments into the works, recording their own image and echoing the sound of the sea ('mor drouz' means 'the sound of sea', in Cornish) 

A short film is associated with the work, here is the link:

"My work is research-based. I use commonplace materials, together with paint, text, film and sound to respond to place, environment, folklore and memory; each work an artefact in an ongoing process.This is basically my set of rules, which at times I decide to break." Philip Bennetta is an English artist, poet and psychologist who has also lived and worked in France and South America. In the late nineteen sixties he became attracted to an interdisciplinary approach to the arts, which continues today, featuring a considered inclusion of subjects, styles, materials and techniques together with the blurring of traditional boundaries. His work relates to place, fragment, folklore and memory and is essentially poetic, inspired by E.E. Cummings, T.S. Eliot and Arte Povera. His poetry has appeared in a range of literary journals, anthologies, collections, films and broadcasts. He is married to the visual artist Susan Bennetta and their home and studios are in Walmer, Deal, Kent.
