during the months january through march 2015
painted on pieces of an antique cranfield and carter boat sail
each work is a visual manifestation of the energy present at the time and location of its creation
taking into account the belief that the same energy existed 100 years ago and will continue to exist 100 years from now
time looses its significance giving way only to the present moment
