“The Winding Road to Retirement”

“The Winding Road to Retirement” is a personal work though it was created as a commission and was immediately shipped out to its home in Ohio. I just sort of started the work in a dispassionate way but was soon drawn in to the layered narrative— an abandoned bulkhead, a broken vessel, tracks of the couple (the crabs) as they ran the gaunlet under the noses (beaks) of the hungry egrets, and then finally the bewildered gaze fo the two “survivors” at the expansive water’s edge…fun stuff.
