OKEY DOKEY, 2023

Size: 7' x 34" Material - Expanded polystyrene foam and epoxy clay and resin.

ARTIST STATEMENT

"Okey Dokey" original sculpture was completed in Florida studio, then transported to Somers Creative Studio in western New York to be coated in resin and painted the final colors and finishes. We had discussions both within the studio and with the project team and it was agreed that the addition of an actual "bowsprit" would really drive the artwork home visually. Once fully fabricated, it was then installed onto the "bow" of the ship at the new Bladensburg Branch library.
