Flotilla - part of the 2013 DeCordova Biennial in Lincoln, MA. This three story ballpoint pen wall drawing charted the messy history of the United States through the lens of watercraft. The map used four organizing factors 1) Hawaii and the west 2) Vikings and the east 3) Slavery and commerce and 4) Darwin and idiocy. It was an intentionally incomplete, cynical and aquatic view of the lust for power and supremacy, the needs and dangers of big commerce and industry and the constant battle between migration and ownership in America.
