A "STRIKING" exhibition at Lichfield Cathedral is aiming to showcase the impact of humans on the oceans.
Whales by Teresa Campbell Fraser features three suspended sculptures made from fishing nets, silk chiffon and latex.
Sitting alongside images from the Ocean Photography of the Year exhibition, the whales will be in place until 6th September.
Teresa said:
"In sculpting the whales as I have, transparently using ghost netting, I want to convey the need for mankind to realise that these magnificent mammals will not exist in our world if we don’t act now to reduce catastrophic global warming and plastic pollution in our oceans.
"Rising sea temperatures will disrupt the entire ecological balance and, alongside plastic pollution, cause these great emblematic creatures to become mere ghosts to us, transparent in the extreme."
