About the Project

In sailing, a tack line is crucial to the stability and direction of a vessel. When the line breaks, the boat will lose control. What happens next depends on the environment. A harbor breeze among friends could mean a leisurely wandering. A storm alone at sea spells chaos. A stop in port with crew yields an orderly assembly line.

Tack Line Torn repeats the basic components of line and color to portray the wide range of outcomes that are possible when we lose control. The result is hard to predict, but the way we perceive our lot is influenced by the surroundings we've chosen. There can be both terror and beauty in chaos, both monotony and enlightenment in order.
