Princeton Harbor sits along the San Mateo coast, a working harbor where fishing boats come and go. I spent years walking those docks - past boats being repaired, boats waiting for parts, boats that would never see water again. The hulls of abandoned vessels fascinated me. Stripped of planking, their ribs exposed, they became something other than boats. They were carcasses, skeletons, the memory of a form.

This triptych explores that transformation. Each panel holds the same pointed hull shape - the essential silhouette that says "vessel" - but constructed from different materials that suggest different stages or states of being.

The first form is built from wood dowels and metal banding - the steel strapping used to secure construction materials. Industrial fastening repurposed into structure. The bands wrap and bind, holding the mass together.
