HOMELESS BOUND
While working on this project I have been thinking about all the one-way journeys taken by those who flee war, violence, and persecution. On this boat, Noah is nowhere to be found. This rescue ship was entirely designed and built by the animals themselves. They chose to depart after discovering they were “other minds.” Those seen on the boat are largely characters from well-known fables and parables. Caught between worlds, these creatures learn to live together aboard their ark, free of human narratives. The Ant is attempting to repair his friendship with the Cicada, the Hare is polite to the Tortoise, and a lovely dialogue is taking place between the Wolf and the Lamb. The work is composed of smaller sections, each representing a chapter in a bigger plot. The work can be viewed as a series of pages or as a whole story.
