Launch of the Erg

Commissioned for the Museum of Fine Arts, Santa Fe, the 'Launch of the Erg' took as its inspiration a thrice sunk ship, the Erg, in Halifax Harbour, Nova Scotia. Reconstruction of a model of the boat, and a floating of the model with weather balloons served to raise the Erg once more, this time into the skies of the New Mexico desert. (2007)
