Original artwork description
Over the seas in a first class rust bucket.
‘As much as one can swallow’ is a satirical piece that portrays a decrepit ship indulging itself amidst burgeoning wind and waves. The painting has an almost child-like appearance; the boat appears to be non-functional. This may indicate the boat is directionless, its motivation pointless.
The characters on board are packed together like sardines, however they appear to be lost in their own versions of the world. Despite their close proximity they remain distant from one another as they satiate themselves in a bit of escapism.
The sea underneath describes restless weather; an ominous portend perhaps or a sign of future upheaval.
