American Compass Original

This piece like so much of my work is inspired by my love for travel and to see the world. Although I am not a sailor the idea of voyage into the blue intrigues me. The Ship icon repeats in my work for a couple of reason. First the are absolutely beautiful and show the genius of woodwork and engineering of man, as wells as their metaphor. As cliche as it sounds we are all just lonely vessels sailing into the unknown but the people around us create our weather.
