About the Item
"We spend our first nine months comfortably submerged, following mother-rhythms, sleeping to the liquid sound of breathing and heartbeat. The sea of origin is forever in us. These paintings of Nassau, Western Ireland, and Texas are a remembrance of that and of a childhood spent roaming the Corpus Christi beaches, breathing fish-scented air, and taking it all for granted.
At Nassau Harbor the water rivals the air for clarity. Ships of size float at ease. In dry dock are boats in different stages of repair with their hulls exposed, out of their element, beautiful in their arrested utility. Most are working boats, rough and marred by use and the elements. ‘Born By Water’ is the title of a series of paintings of one of these. It is a simple blue boat casting a long rich shadow on a sunny afternoon. It rests in unaccustomed stillness, an inadvertent monument to a broken spirit being repaired. A boat is functional because of its emptiness. A person is at their best when empty of self concern. “The mystic swims in the same water the psychotic drowns in” because life best supports those who are empty enough to float."
