About the Book
'tied' is a photographic essay exploring the resting place of debris discarded from ships and boats - much of it carried to remote beaches around the world.
It is a gentle visual remonstration urging people to be more aware of the effects of their mundane actions.
The oceans are vast but everything thrown overboard ends up somewhere - it doesn't just disappear....
'tied' acts as a conversation starter to get people talking about the problem of everyday human pollution of our earth's oceans, and what to do about it.
