Mixed Media & Collage on Paper - Ceide Currach by James Edward Scherbarth

White paint drips down a dark scrap of paper like rain on a barn door, with a sliver of hull floating below.

Ceide Currach is a mixed media and collage on paper by James Edward Scherbarth, dated 2020 and signed and dated 08-26-2020 on the verso. A currach is a traditional Irish boat of skin or canvas stretched over a wooden frame, and Ceide is a name associated with the coast of County Mayo. A torn rectangle of dark brown and ochre paper is overlaid with streaky white and gray paint. Below it, a narrow curved piece, lies like a boat on water. It is 7 inches wide and 10 high.

The boat is small, the weather is large.
