The Lightship Series

Found Objects, Fabricated Components, and Light. These were made from 1989 - 2008.

Lightships were a sort of mobile lighthouse used in locations where the water was too deep to build a lighthouse. I chose it as a metaphor for the beacon that draws the voyager to the safe passage.

These were very intensive to build and ultimately I decided that I would base them on designed and fabricated components rather than found ones. This will allow me to re-iterate ideas across pieces in the next series.
