Catalogue Note
This serigraph originally began as a triptych which Colville abandoned. Bell comments on this work:
The sea is timeless, although the marker indicates a position in its relationship to both the boat and the viewer a measure of both duration and location... The circle is a format Colville likes as it echoes the horizon all around and evokes wholeness and completion (man, boat, water, wind, light).
