Star Ship

Frances Carlile

Dimensions
250cm x 100cm x 50cm

A white ship sails on a dark blue inked sea. The mast is a tree. The image of a glider is reflected in the water. The glider could be an albatross. The sculpture is fragile and is contained within a vitrine, like a ship in a bottle. There is an element of narrative in this piece.
