For coastal dwellers, buoys are common harbor sights. Like icebergs, their bulk is hidden below the surface. Removed from water, their awkward disposition on land reveals true size and history of service. Rust, mollusks, oil, and bumps in the night lend character to these colorful giants. Images are from my solo show “Out of Water-Abstracted Buoys”, 2019 at Dolphin Gallery, Hingham, MA. In 2020, I self published “Abstracted Buoys” containing over sixty images from the series.
