Artist Statement
“Sea Saw” is an interactive sculpture, designed to encourage playing and relaxing by the
Harbor Walk and to symbolically link Hyannis’ maritime history with the experience of
being on and near the harbor. The design for “Sea Saw” comes from a lingering childhood
memory of rowing a dinghy into shore, turning it upside down for careful storage, and
resting on it between rows. Sitting on the turned hull, to look back from where I had
come, the upside down dinghy always rocked gently, reminding me of the waves and the
motion of the sea.
Sea Saw is intended to be used as furniture. Please use safely and respectfully.
The Sea Saw fabrication team—much gratitude to Rick Bishop and Whitney Wright
