About the art
Artist statement
You follow an uncertain course, sometimes get slightly damaged and hope for a safe arrival.
Boat shapes are of all times and all cultures. With these two boats (see also Uncertain Course I) I tried to make a universal shape, not a copy of a real boat, but a shape that you immediately recognize as such.
The sculpture is made of Belgian bluestone, polished to a glossy black. The lines, which refer to the erratic course, are engraved in it and filled with copper paint.
The two sculptures are also very suitable to place as a set of two. But they are not that small, you do need some space.
Bluestone is suitable for outdoor, but the black colour of the polished surface will fade to dark grey.
