Tales of the Sea

Old sail boat hulls, resting in dry dock bear the story of every voyage they’ve taken, etched by currents, waves, and debris. The pattern of accumulated memories, written in chipped paint and rust stains, bookends the ocean itself, author and scribe of their adventures.

The triptychs play with the line between representative and abstract art. The initial impression of shape, colour, and space provides an emotional tapestry for the series. These abstractions resolve themselves into specific representations of sail boat hulls flanking close ups of the ocean.
