Float 1 and Float 2 were drawn from
scenes of an oddly-shaped pool at my
sister's house in 2007. I enjoyed
observing how the floating objects—a
noodle and an inner tube—couldn't
help but to conjure up their own
personalities in the way they occupied
space. By omitting other elements of
the pool (a slide and other objects),
the traits of these two floating objects
are gently forced into a relationship of
sorts. From there, a
narrative—however simple—follows
their slowly coasting bobs into the
evening.
