Walking the Breakwater
2010
Walking the Breakwater depicts two figures traversing a stone jetty that extends into the sea, rendered in the white-line woodblock technique that emphasizes bold color separation and graphic clarity. The composition presents a cross-section view, simultaneously showing the breakwater's underwater foundation and the landscape beyond, with a lighthouse visible on the distant shore. The vibrant palette of blues, greens, oranges, and grays creates a dynamic maritime scene populated with seabirds and animated water patterns. This work exemplifies the Cape Cod regional art tradition, combining modernist formal principles with accessible coastal imagery that celebrates the everyday experience of New England seaside life.
