Full Speed Ahead (1999)
ceramic Raku
11.5 x 12.5 x 5 in.
“Full Speed Ahead” is one of a number of ceramic sculptures I have made using a boat to carry a human story. Each sculpture is a voyage. Some are individual voyages, some are group. “Full Speed Ahead” is a political voyage. It was created in 1999 in the spirit of racial, gender, and ethnic equality. There have been rough seas since. I hope our ship stays on course.
