Ship of Fools - new work for exhibition



This is my piece for the 'ship of fools, ship of hope' exhibition at Yarra Sculpture galley in Australia. Artists were sent a simple plastic boat in kit form and asked to respond to the theme (see previous post for details of the exhibition). Mine is a military camoflage textile boat, the sail is stitched from sections of military safety slide film found on a skip.
