Alicia was among selected New England artists invited to participate in the benefit auction supporting the environmental work of the Westport River Watershed Alliance of Westport, Massachusetts.  The challenge was to create an original artwork on a wood lobster buoy within the exhibit theme of “Buoy The Winter Blues,”  an event designed to bring a sense of lightness and fun to the dark southern New England sea coast winter.

 

‘The Game — Rolling on the Westport River.’ This buoy spins to send players on a Westport River game — a bit like Candy Land or Chutes and Ladders. Do a good deed for the river and move forward, but wash your car in the driveway or (worse) dump chemicals down a storm drain and prepare to tumble backwards.
