There’s something special about submarines, especially when they age. These a few of those I’ve crafted so far - aged underwater for 1-3 years.

My latest Ghost Fleet sculpture, after a 2 year transformation below the waves. Now preselected for Chelsea Art Society’s Summer exhibition in London.

My latest project, as always built from scrap metal and waste wood, then sunk. Now Nature will transform it for 1-2 years, until it’s ready to salvaged and reborn as a Ghost Fleet sculpture.

Found some hollow pieces of wood and a discarded metal tube - and got inspired to create another submarine sculpture. Now it only needs to be aged for two years beneath the waves before it’s ready for the art galleries.

Before, during & after the transformation. Mother Nature and Father Time are crucial co-artists in the Ghost Fleet Art Project.

Don’t you just love how nature and time can transform and enhance a Ghost Fleet vessel?

The most satisfying part of the Ghost Fleet art project? Salvaging the vessels after 2-3 years below the waves. ⚓🎨

Exhibiting your art is also so very much about meeting interesting people, making connections and discussing. I love it!

Ageing the vessels underwater is the core of the Ghost Fleet art process - and that story is an essential part of the actual artworks.

The underwater ageing process is an essential part of the Ghost Fleet Art Project and takes between 1-3 years.

Each of my Ghost Vessel sculptures tells a unique story. Every scar, patch of rust, mussel, or barnacle forms part of a captivating puzzle, clues about what these vessels endured while submerged beneath the waves - often for years.
