Boats and boat shapes conjure thoughts of water as a natural force, a spiritual source, or a resource for which humans are responsible - and not doing such a red hot job. The indigo-dyed baskets symbolize the sea that brings the amber to the shore – and a ship from ancient times, transporting the Nordic Gold to the rest of Europe. “The shape that occurs when I bend the willow reminds me of waves on choppy water, boats, and the movement of water.” Birgit Birkkjaer’s baskets contain precious amber that she has found washed up on the shore. Others, like Dona Anderson, Jane Balsgaard, Merja Winquist, Birgit Birkkjaer and Christine Joy, are moved to create more abstract versions. Boat is a part of new work of hers that is more angular, says Christine Joy. Stoneware, porcelain wood fired and reduction fired. Off season, she reflects on her day job, creating porcelain, earthenware, raku-fired ceramic and stoneware boats, buoys, sinkers and oars that float inches from the floor.Īnnette Bellamy, Floating installation at the Fuller Museum (detail), 2012.

Twenty-four Hours on the Roaring Fork River, Aspen, CO, is a print created by Drawing Boat, a vessel filled with river rocks that makes marks on paper when it is afloat. In Skiff, an antique telephone receiver links viewers to sounds of a rushing river. Some, like Lawrence LaBianca, Helena Hernmarck, Chris Drury and Annette Bellamy, have referenced them literally in their work. Lawrence LaBianca creates experiences in which water is an integral part.

Photo by Tom GrottaĪrtists at browngrotta arts explore the artistic potential of boats and boat shapes in widely divergent ways. Photo by Tom Grottaīoats and ships and time on the water are potent metaphors for the highs and lows of contemporary life.Īs FineArt America says of “boat art”:”… whether you own a boat, grew up by the sea, or dream of sailing the wide-open ocean, boats have a way of making us feel a unique combination of calm and adventurous.”.
