Phoenician Wings ~ Boat #1

A striking sculptural vessel by Susan Livingston, this ceramic boat merges contemporary craftsmanship with geological history. Hand-constructed from stoneware, it incorporates Phoenician coral specimens dating back 32-35 million years, sourced from the Florida-Georgia border. The interior features Cretaceous Laurel Oak from Alabama, layered beneath ancient coral fragments. The composition rests upon a Pleistocene turtle shell and horse axis vertebra from Florida, creating a meditation on time, material, and the earth's layered narratives. Each element speaks to deep temporal and geographical significance, transforming a functional form into an object of contemplative beauty.
