Fishing Heritage Exhibition 

As part of the Fishing Heritage Exhibition held at the St. John the Baptist Church, St Georges Rd, Hull, I designed a group of prints that would feature in the exhibition. 

I had designed a group of paper cuts that represented and paid respects to the family's that was left behind by the fisherman going to sea. Each paper cut contains a verse from the hymn 'The Sailors Hymn'.  

The Sailors Hymn - William Whiting

Eternal Father, strong to save, 
Whose arm hath bound the restless wave, 
Who bidd'st the mighty ocean deep 
Its own appointed limits keep: 
O hear us when we cry to thee, 
For those in peril on the sea

O Christ, whose voice the waters heard 
And hushed their raging at thy word, 
Who walked'st on the foaming deep 
And calm amid its storm didst sleep; 
O hear us when we cry to thee 
For those in peril on the sea

O holy Spirit, who didst brood 
Upon the waters dark and rude, 
And bid their angry tumult cease 
And give, for wild confusion, peace: 
O hear us when we cry to thee 
For those in peril on the sea.

O Trinity of love and power, 
Our brethren shield in danger's hour, 
From rock and tempest, fire and foe, 
Protect them whereso'er they go: 
Thus evermore shall rise to thee 
Glad hymns of praise from land and sea.
