Steel Canoe, displayed in a gallery on the steel saw horses.
This sculpture embodies the idea that experience
cannot be created, but objects can function as vessels to carry the viewer into
their own experiences. Symbolically, the solo canoe represents the individual; experiences are ultimately individualistic and difficult to convey.
As an expression of my retreat from this manner of working with difficult materials this has now devolved into Scuttle, a ritualistic sinking of the vessel.
