Eclipse
The canoe has been a constant image in my oeuvre for decades. Its metaphorical richness is what has captivated me- silent, floating movement, observing the sea world beneath, creating a powerful sense of no self. The canoe as image has branched out to sail boats, which are components of my assemblages.
Eclipse is a sailboat deck, which has been burned in half, then reassembled. The bow and the stern meet at the top, overlapping to create the eclipse shadow. The shimmering top element is floating above the base, creating a biomorphic, meditative totem.
