Found maritime distress flag, plywood, charcoal, railroad spike in wood frame
21 H x 21 W x 2 D inches

Original work. Signed and dated. Ships directly from the studio.
Description:
An orange distress flag. Originally designed to send a daytime distress signal. Its black square and circle form an official maritime sign that a vessel or person needs assistance.
For the work, a salvaged orange distress flag is paired with weathered plywood and a railroad spike. I was drawn to the way the materials bring together two different systems of passage, one by water and one by land. What once supported and directed movement now remains as evidence of use and abandonment.
