Havana Harbour

Oil waste from Havana Bay

The Havana Bay project led Noel to use the harbour’s waste as the materials for this collection.

La Bahía de La Habana fue en su tiempo la segunda bahía más sucia del mundo. Solo pinté de ella lo que no quería que fuese. Quise limpiarla, ahora está limpia. Ya tiene vida vegetal y ya las aves marinas comen los peces de sus aguas.

Havana Bay was, in its day, the second dirtiest bay in the world. I painted from it only what I did not want it to be. I wanted to clean it; now it is clean. It has plant life again, and the seabirds eat the fish from its waters.
