Dean's work deals with issues of amandonment, loss, regret, and more. The 'Teignmouth Electron' was a yatch abandoned by Donald Crowhurst after he filed false reports about his progress in a round-the-world yatch race. Images of the ship in a state of decay instill a sort of melancholy, perhaps asking us to question our own understanding of time. Donald Crowhurst becomes the victim of his own fiction. Jeanette Winterstone writes beautifully on Tacita's work here<BR/><BR/>http://www.jeanettewinterson.com/pages/content/index.asp?PageID=352Beth Williamsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318908377025774154noreply@blogger.com
