Sky Boat Flotilla
If the soul is the boat that carries my body--what would that boat look like?
Patterns and fractals--finding order and beauty out of chaos of the past year-- seemed like a good starting-place.
Making the boat hulls began with abstract watercolor painting on both sides of the card, then I added designs from nature in marker and pencil. My bedroom floor soon became a boatyard scattered with piles of branches and colorful scraps of cheesecloth. As you can see, obsession with the sails overtook the project!
