This original woodburning drifts between ocean and sky, where steampunk machinery and marine life merge into a single, dreamlike current. A suspended airship hovers above waves while, below, a whale carries a hidden world of gears within its body, and an octopus keeps silent watch, its form half threaded with mechanical detail.
Inspired by the atmospheric pull of Radiohead’s “Sail to the Moon,” the piece explores the tension between the organic and the engineered. Each line is burned by hand into live-edge basswood, allowing the grain to become part of the motion, like currents shaping everything in their path.
The result is a quiet, surreal narrative: part voyage, part memory, part machine.
16×12×1 on live-edge basswood, finished with Walrus brand oils.
