If I Had A Boat, is part of my Baggage, Boats and Site/Sight Lines series, three series informed by process and intuition, led by the connection of raw materials, simplicity, and time. Building off of that rawness, the boats become vessels of my present; sitting, carrying, holding, or transporting, but these boats do not float and cannot sail.  The materials outline their capacity to voyage and inform their fate.  The combination of the contradictions in this open the spectrum of dichotomy of materials; each lending way to soft, hard, heavy, light.  All connected by raw materials and often stitched together by a thread, they connect my past, present, and future and invite the viewer to see what these raw, simplistic forms give way for their vision.
