‘Ghostship’ by Dorothy Cross

[shanghaied-and-marooned-blog]

Ghostship, Dorothy Cross, 1999.

Ghost Ship was a personal homage by Dorothy Cross to the many lightships which once marked dangerous reefs around the Irish coast, but have now all but disappeared. The Ghost Ship was covered in luminous paint and, at nightfall, illuminated to glow and fade, evoked the poignancy of the disappeared lightships and the artist’s childhood memories, linked to her father’s love of the sea.

Dorothy Cross’s fascination with lightships goes back to her childhood: “I grew up in Cork, where The Daunt was moored two miles off the coast. The Ghost Ship refers to the memory of the lightships, whose presence was held dear around the Irish coast. Except for three remaining lightships, the vessels have been replaced by automated satellite buoys. The role of the sea has diminished for the Irish people and the view is inwards towards the cities.”

Performing You, 2017, Eddie Peake

I took this image at the opening of Eddie Peake’s exhibition, Concrete Pitch, which showed at the White Cube Bermondsey. If you look closely you can see me mirrored in the left of the image, taking a photo. Following this action I was left feeling somewhat contemplative - this is what great art should do.

Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you. A lot of people never get past this phase, they quit. Most people I know who do interesting, creative work went through years of this. We know our work doesn’t have this special thing that we want it to have. We all go through this. And if you are just starting out or you are still in this phase, you gotta know its normal and the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work. Put yourself on a deadline so that every week you will finish one story. It is only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap, and your work will be as good as your ambitions. And I took longer to figure out how to do this than anyone I’ve ever met. It’s gonna take awhile. It’s normal to take awhile. You’ve just gotta fight your way through.

one day I will get to phase 2 where my work will be as good as my ambitions. ONE DAY.
