Deep Blue (oil on canvas) is a work largely inspired by Rebecca Giggs’ book Fathoms: the world in the whale. Rebecca writes ‘ Encountering a whale can occasion a rush of awe - suggesting, as it does, novel worlds hidden within our world. Animals have different ways of living with, and within, nature, being equipped with faculties unlike own own and moved by impulses we cannot resolutely apprehend.’
