Link to new album from recent Nauticalia Tentacalus installation!

Here is a link to a new Facebook photo album from my recent Nauticalia Tentacalus: YeOldeSe(a)menShoppe installation at They Won't Find Us Here Gallery. http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=75407&id=1635349353&l=bd9953e57e.  Take a maritime walk around the fore, aft, port and starboard sides of the gallery installation with images from photographer Sean Smuda.  The images reflect the breadth of the object finds, ephemeric research, and bibliographic entries from the exhibition.  An eight page List of Works/Bibliographic Artist Statement accompanied the gallery show.  Listed were all items in categorized sections of the gallery, including the Optimist Dinghy w/Boat Parts, Turntable/Trophy Case, Dressing Chair/Objects, Nautical Library, Stag Magazines, & Swabby Washbucket items. Thanks, pete

 Best wishes, pete
