south coast fishing boats 2023
These pieces are "one-offs" and not reproduced.  They are pick-up only, as they are too fragile to ship.

Fishing boats are essentially forms of functional necessity.  They do what they have to do, and nothing else.  These vessels elements are deconstructed, pared back and then recomposed to emphasise their essential form and texture.

The boat draws the fishing net into a circle around a school of fish.  The bottom of the net is pulled tight, like a purse trapping them inside.

The boat  pulls a net, closed at one end through the water, capturing any fish that pass in front of it.  The open end of the net is kept apart by a large board on either side called an “otter-board.”  The boards were angled to flare apart by the pressure of the water.

Baited hooks are attached to the long-line by short lines called "snoods" .  The long line floats on the surface through the use of floats or buoys.
