These works are derived from first hand experiences at sea - having sailed many thousands of miles around the world, these journeys continue to have profound resonance for the artist. As part of a recent body of work entitled ‘To the Water’, some are based on experiences from his most recent transatlantic trip, whilst others draw from a broader history of sailing voyages - for the artist, these works have become more of “a general hymn to the oceans”. Accompanying the paintings is a film work, which is structured to echo the Beaufort scale of wind speed, so begins flat calm, and proceeds with gradually increasing intensity. It is bookended by two passages, and interspersed with visitations, which reflect the correlation Impey holds with dolphins and the faeries of Yeats’ poem ‘Stolen Child’ - entrancing, enchanting apparitions from another world, a siren call to a realm we cannot fully inhabit, but remain deeply connected to.
