Created by MASARY Studios, the art piece “Vessels” was presented to the public June to August 2020 and was reflective of the contemporary and historical fishing industry of the port community in New Bedford.
The three-part video and sound artwork explored the ships of New Bedford as characters in the community s rich history. It was displayed at three locations on Union Street, projected on building facades every night over the course of the six weeks.
Responding to the site and fishing community, Vessels was sculpted into a media poem consisting of an arch centered around the character, folklore, history, and people in and around fishing vessels.
