Artwork Description:
Walking up the stairs to the lookout at the former life saving station that guarded the Manitou Passage along with Pointe Btise Lighthouse for decades, an allegorical moment came to me what it must have been like for the countless sailors wives who would take this same walk as I am now doing.
Scanning over the distant horizon anticipating the emergence of the white canvas sails to appear that might give hope of a safe return or the angst of what might be a Widows Walk.
