Description
Original India ink drawing on antique cartographic support. (Unique piece).
This work records the presence of the Steve Irwin, former flagship of Sea Shepherd, on an original nautical chart of the Cape Agulhas region.
The India ink treatment is not a mere naval illustration; it is an overlay of two systems of power. On one side, the antique map, a tool of state control and maritime flux management. On the other, the black and disruptive silhouette of the activist vessel, asserting itself through a saturation of matter.
The drawing uses deep blacks and mechanical hatching to emphasize the "combat machine" aspect of the ship. By occupying a major portion of the cartographic surface, the vessel renders the navigation data obsolete. It no longer navigates upon the measured space; it replaces it with its own political authority.
It is a report on the conflict of zones: where cartography attempts to set limits, the ink asserts an out-of-frame presence—radical and indelible.
