National Association of Women Artist 136th Annual Juried Exhibition
|
|
Hover Craft, Colored Pencil on Bristol Board Mounted on Cradle Board, 10”Hx10”Wx1.5”D, N. Baur Dillen
|
About 20 years ago I started a small series of painting that dealt with the boat. It has always lived in the back of my mind. This past year I returned to this iconic image.
|
Hover Craft, part of my Boat Icon Series, is a small colored pencil drawing on Bristol Board mounted on cradle board. A boat moves within a dry, barren space. Inner origami-like panels unfold revealing a spinal column with radiating branches. Clouds float throughout.
|
To me the “boat” icon represents freedom, the soul, an individual’s journey of self-discovery, our relationship to nature, the human vessel, security, exploration, and transformation.
|
Living on the Indian River in Florida with the Space Program forty-five miles away, an inverted boat also represents a rocket and all its associations. I use an aerial view of a row-boat because it has a bound human form allowing me to play with its inner and outer spaces and meanings.
|
Hover Craft is my entry into this year’s National Association of Women Artist 136th Annual juried exhibit open to Signature members only. Over $13,000 in awards are available. Exhibition opens Friday, June 6, 2025; Gallery Hours Tuesday - Sunday, 12-6 pm
