This afternoon Oliver and I visited the wonderful Peabody-Essex Museum in Salem, MA. and very much enjoyed the exhibit by the very gifted and imaginative Alexis Rockman, entitled "Shipwrecks". My camera can't begin to capture his use of color, and detail; you need to go and see it in person.
Here are some photos from our visit.
