The Ancient Mariner Collage

∆ Whether by sea, stars, or locomotive, one navigates by what one knows. In this case, a constellation leads the way, and abstract patterns mix with everyday objects to create the feel of ocean spray on your cheek, the smell of the ocean at night, the sense of pink invading your life. Solid blocks of color and texture make up the structure of the piece, yet within this galaxy parts seem to break off and skid around, creating a slight sense of disorientation. This and the curved wire moving up around and down can create a fluid rocking sensation, almost like a good sort of seasickness. Once you’ve searched and searched, you come to find that sometimes a rose is just a rose, but wouldn’t be a rose without the adventure that led you to it. _________ Part of the ‘Mariner’ series ∆
