(On)Guard Rail / 4"x 4" / 2015
Now available through Glesason Fine Art
A guardrail protects all the hard work of a boatbuilder. It is the last piece of wood to be fastened onto a Monhegan Skiff, but it will be the first piece to bump, rub, or scrape against a dock or another dinghy once it's launched. The guardrail here is the last and most satisfying task for this new apprentice to finish before the light fades at the end of a full day.
