About The Boy Who Came From The Sea

Rising above a strip of inky black, a black rag doll figure rendered in calligraphic markings meets three curved brushstrokes resembling waves in this painting on paper. A spray of light blue latex and black ink across the composition completes this narrative of birth and rebirth. Fernie is a masterful story-teller and here captures the mythological essence of a boy who came from the sea.
