Splace Possiblity

Small boat making workshop
2010

My dad is a wine salesman, so when we were kids my brother, sister and I made small boats out of wine corks and popsicle sticks. We sailed them down the street gutter after rainstorms. Now that I drink, it is interesting to think about the history of those corks, and their transference from an element of adult activity to an element of children's activity. The Splace Possiblity workshop is a place to use byproducts of daily ritual drinks like coffee and alcohol as primary materials to build a small boat. The misspelled "Splace Possiblity" title refers to the possibility of documenting the displacement of these materials in personal or group sailing expeditions.
