Description
Title & Artist: "Marblehead, 1872" – by Cynthia Roberts
Medium & Size: Mixed media on wood. 21 7/8" L x 8 5/8" H x 3/4" D. For indoor display only.
Artist Statement: This work was created as a tribute to my great-great-uncle Nathaniel Ramsdell, a captain out of the port of Marblehead, uncle to my grandmother Carrie Joy Ramsdell Roberts. He sailed from Marblehead to San Francisco, traversing the seas to arrive there. I enjoy using maps as drawings—ways humans abstractly mark and measure experience.
