Cymba Transtemporalis - Lyme Bay

By Jenny Mellings 2023 - 2025

Dimensions
90 x 130 cm

In this painting the crew of a local Cornish gig-rowing club have been dressed in timeless, possibly Roman style clothing. They row on a sea with pliosaur nearby. Seascape is based on the familiar skyline of Lyme Bay, Dorset, with equisetum printed in the foreground, and ancient plant hat has probably been there before humans inhabited this place.

This is a painting of two layers relating to the experience and limitations of communication via Skype. The shadowy 'figure' is trapped behind a screen, obscured by the pointillist/divisionist dots of light. The colours suggest a nocturnal view, dominated by orange, which reflects of the ubiquitous colouring of the sodium vapour streetlamp.
