Raych
A variety of rays are found around our island home, from the shallow waters of the shoreline to the reefs and deeper waters. This ray has been created by stitching reclaimed fishing net, rope and twine. Reclaimed fishing nets (also known as ghost nets) are derelict fishing nets that drift aimlessly at sea indiscriminately fishing, killing turtles, other creatures and tangling boat propellers. We are recycling these nets, incorporating other flotsam and making products for enjoyment and use. By purchasing this artwork you are helping indigenous communities who collect this net and other groups who make items to develop economic opportunities. We hope this product brings you great joy and helps spread the ghost net message.
This work is made by hand, any inconsistencies are inherent qualities of the process and should be treasured as such. This work is made from recycled fishing gear and other materials that have been repurposed. While all care has been taken to ensure the longevity of these materials, it is best to avoid strong direct sunlight and exposure to extreme weather conditions. Clean with water only.
