DescriptionThis black and white image is of four figures stood in a long dugout canoe on tranquil waters. The leftmost figure, at the back of the boat, holds an oar and is mid-stroke. In front of him is a person holding their hands behind their back. Ahead of them, the third figure raises their hands above them to a fifth figure donning an astronaut suit and standing on a floating rock. The fourth figure at the front of the boat is shrouded by an oversized texture coat that obscures any discernible shape.Exhibition HistorySeason de
