"Pram"
1998

This is a pram about thirty two inches and it has a story written on it and the story is broken into numbered fragments. I'm constantly thinking about the question of boats being Art. By Art I mean like paintings and sculpture in the truest sense. On the one hand its easy to say yeah of course its Art, it's something I made, why not, but on the other hand I've always felt that I wanted to say something more than just gee look at the pretty boat, I've wanted to say something more personal, something that's never been said about boats. Once I made an animated film that was called "I'm a sailboat"
 
The numbered story is about a mistake I made that I had to correct when I was building it. The mast is painted with gold paint.
