Chew to Think a Boat to Try to Go

Part of the Fruga Art Trail on the island of Rab.

This thing is an attempt at construction and thinking. The boat was made without instructions, plans, or previous knowledge. The chewing gum is accumulating on the boat like the lichen on the surrounding rocks. Chewing is like thinking, and this boat is as seaworthy as thought. In hindsight I think the weight of the oak and the overall leaky nature of the twine were not the most buoyant choices, but it could possibly provide an alternative sea related use as a vrša or fishing trap. Or maybe over time the gum will fill all the holes and the boat could float.
