I recently combined my passion of the Houtman Abrolhos Islands, off the Western Australian Coast, with my fascination of the Batavia shipwreck. This particular piece 'Abandoned on Morning Reef' captures the evening after the ship ran aground when the ship was still fairly intact but beyond re floating. At this time, the wind began to blow hard from the North West as it can in these parts during winter season. This work depicts the final piece of the trilogy series titled 'Batavia Aground'. This series is the timeline of that historical and tragic day when the ship went aground at the Abrolhos Islands.
