Linocut.
One of Fifteen Artist Proofs in various colour combinations.
Image size 21x30cm. Paper size 30x40cm.

The figure in the boat is based on John Minton's dust jacket cover for Time Was Away from 1948. The figure is asleep in a boat on a beach, so I have imagined the sea has come in and swept him away. The original reduction linocut was titled The Dreamer, but I decided to retitle this 3 plate version to Cast Adrift following the interesting conversations that arose when talking to viewers about this image, as it seems to draw out the psychological state of the observer.
