Weathered (Series)
DESCRIPTION
As a kid I spent many a summer beneath the hulls of boats, scraping and painting, with the waiting ocean nearby. These images find a vista of that ocean in the mind’s eye, a personal landscape, coalesced from many remembered seascapes. Derived from photographs made of the weathered waterlines of fishing, lobster and sailing boats sitting in their cradles, awaiting a fresh coat of paint, the images evoke views from the boats themselves, reflecting back to the sea that awaits them.
