NEW SEASCAPE PORN
2016, aluminum canoe & newspapers; shown here at The Parrish Art Museum, Southampton, NY
"The aluminum canoe Mr. Lipski co-opts is hung on the wall like a recovered ark or indigenous people’s relic. It is studded with rolled-up New York Times newspapers, inserted through precisely drilled holes. Viewing it offers one of those vanitas moments where one becomes immediately aware not only of our evanescence relative to history but also our own inconsequentiality. It looks like something to be set afire and floated down a significant body of water to mark a passage or honor a dignitary."
-Jennifer Landes, "The Chosen Ones at the Parrish Art Museum", East Hampton Star, Dec. 22, 2016
