“ Seamus Heany – the Irish poet, in his poem “North”, best expressed an outlook on life with which I most closely hold. It goes something like this:
‘Compose in darkness. Expect aurora borealis in the long fray but no cascade of light. Keep your eye clear as a bleb of an iceberg. Trust only what you can hold in your hand.’ “

Årby Boat - scale model (grouping) mixed media $1500 My contribution to the exhibition is an original 1/5 scale wooden model of the Årby Boat from a 9th Century grave in central Sweden. The model is 31 inches long and 8? inches wide. It will be accompanied by several “grave goods”- some to scale, some actual size. The Årby boat is a small utility boat that has been described as a Viking age equivalent of a bicycle. Grave goods are items from our material culture that one would or would hope to need in an “afterlife”. They are things we should all use and enjoy in this life. They are a personal to each individual.
