March 2021. Bronze. Dimensions: 22 × 10 × 11 in (56 × 25 × 28 cm). SOLD
Pyxis is a small and faint constellation in the southern sky. Its name is Latin for a mariner's compass
awry 1 : in a turned or twisted position or direction: askew 2 : off the correct or expected course: amiss
The works in this series feature a “vessel” form - historically understood in art and literature as a symbol or metaphor for the self, a group of people, human kind. If the vessel's compass is awry it will likely end up adrift, untethered, off course.
My intent with this series is raise questions/search for answers relative to personal (or a group) decisions or courses of action and shed light on the resulting consequences, whether they are personal, political, environmental.
**This piece was created as an informal memorial to Adirondack boat builder Peter Hornbeck, originator of the “Hornbeck “ super lightweight fiberglass vessel inspired by the original wooden Adirondack guideboats.
