200481469bdFt. Pierce FL: Long Wind Publishing LLC. 2004. First Edition stated. Signed and inscribed by the illustrator Philip S. Steel. Square quarto white cloth hardcover 32 pp. Fine As New in a Fine As New dust jacket. From dust jacket: Performed across the entire State of Florida s a unique combination of a one-man monodrama and a traveling art exhibit Net Loss set tongues wagging about its controversial theme: the banning of certain types of net fishing in Florida and the staggering effect the ban had on generations of fishing families. It also broke ground as an innovative partnership between a dramatist and a painter with both disciplines sharing equal billing in the production. Net Loss also focuses on a larger issue the issue of art as social commenator. Although the net ban had taken effect several years prior to writer Evelyn Wilde Mayerson and artist Philip S. Steel’s groundbreaking partnership the frustration felt by fishermen fairly roiled just below the surface of their feelings. Net Loss gave a voice to those who had virtually given up on ever having a public forum to express their disjoining sense of loss and helplessness. Although the production did not take an advocate’s position on either side of the question the audience was treated to a sympathetic examination of one fisherman’s take on what had happened to him and many of his friends. Here then is Net Loss reduced to its true essence. Evocative words and interpretive paintings that draw the reader down to the docks the fish houses and boats of a changing breed of people whose lives depend on a natural resource in a world not controlled by nature.
