"Bearing", 2013

​

The difficulty in working in a non studio environment is the task of translating the outdoor experience into an object to be viewed in an indoor setting.  The hand sails can be used for pedisailing, but are made specifically for the gallery. They represent a sculptural metaphor for the actual walking performance.  As an avid traveler I have included many of the places in which the pedisailing has been performed.  I most recently performed a pedisail  on the Australian East Cost at location called Jigamy.  Places/cultures are represented by the type of sails, as well as symbols. Over the years these symbols have included: Tino Rangatiratanga (Maori independence flag) from New Zealand, Western Samoa, Kanak Independence flag from New Caledonia, as well as burgees from Otago Yacht Club (New Zealand), Rarotonga Yacht Club, Catalina Yacht Club, and Chula Vista Yacht Club.
