Dream Raft
Dream Raft
2013
Networked Borosilicate Glass, Wood, Sailing Rigging
4ft. x 3½ft. x 4½ft.
Growing up near a lake there was a lot of time of starring off across the surface of the water and losing yourself in thought. I find daydreaming to be an important aspect of creating as your mind freely wonders for a few moments to unusual conclusions. It was while day dreaming one afternoon I began to wonder about the phrase “drifting off to sleep” and what vessel would take you to the shores of dreamland. To help my voyage to these lands I created a life size raft for my self to embark on. While the raft is sound enough to float and the rigging ready to hoist up the mast it is the glass sail that cast the water surface in shadow. This creates its own surf to move upon while leaving for a day dream.
