In 2016, 362,753 people fled to the EU by crossing the
Mediterranean. Of these 5,000 were reported missing
or dead. This loss of life was the largest in a single year.
Ceramic Artist Sheila Stone's work is a personal and
political attempt to give meaning to numbers by
making space for their enormity. To date she has, with
the help of friends, students and local community
groups, made five thousand boats.
For a limited time this project, a reference to Charon –
the boatman of Greek mythology who was paid to ferry
the dead to the next life, is displayed in The Source.
Like his passengers these migrating families; mothers,
fathers, children, uncles, grandmothers, were paying out
for a doomed passage. Seeing it, laid out in front of you
in an exhibition, it's harder to look away, the connection
to a distant hurt becomes stronger.
