“Mandorla and Elipse” 1997, gut and found objects, by Peggy Vanbianchi. Located in the Bainbridge Public Library. Artist Statement: “The boats carry me on a primitive hunting trip or an exploration into the unknown waters far from the shelter of my home…As I work on the boats, the shapes that emerge often resemble cocoons, insect wings, or sea mammals…Often it is not until after I have attached the gut that I become consciously aware of the emerging shape…believes these images develop from another personal longing, my desire to see nature restored.”
