Quirky, fantastical yet somehow familiar, "Forage, Voyage" is a piece of wall art that begs the question of what it means to be on life's journey. Whose is the disembodied arm that rows this ark, chock-full of stuff? Are they necessities or impedimenta? No one appears to occupy the swing hanging from the tree. What about the crew dotted on the vessel, who all seemingly have important tasks but no arms to perform with? Why are there potted plants on board? Why is the ship's anchor devoid of heft, no more than a drawing? So what does the artist think this world is? What does she think it should be? Who, where, and most importantly why is all this? Curlicues of meaning and more questions are evoked as we behold this philosophical showpiece. -Aaron
