Sketch for "The Whirlpool" (Moby Dick project)



Today I sketched out my idea for an upcoming show at Porter Mill on the theme of Herman Melville's Moby DIck.  This is an idea for a collage, using the geometry of a whirlpool and Melville's long sentence describing the disappearance of the Pequod.  The idea for the whirlpool came first.  I was going to use a different quote, but then I found this one, and it fits perfectly.  It describes the whirlpool, and is also long enough to go round and round and end with the disappearance of the ship.
