When at my beach home in Maine, I am a daily searcher for treasures brought in by the tide. I currently live 1500 miles from any ocean but I still go to the water. I was shocked and delighted to find that the 10,000 lakes and the Mighty Miss also throw their treasures onto their beaches. I collected. I sorted. I made art. This chair is a record of my relationship with the water in Minnesota. It is sealed with the boat epoxy I learned to use in Maine as I mended boats. This chair is indestructible, just the people of Maine and Minnesota.
