This is a whimsical painted wooden rowboat that is designed to look as if it's been marooned in the playa for a long time. The exterior will be painted with colorful encaustic, incorporating collaged images leaning into the history of encaustic art and this year's BM theme. The oars will appear sunk into the playa as if it is still floating along. There will be metal grasses (lit at night) around, colorful ceramic barnacles (with lights in them) attached to it, and a figurehead. Curiously there will be a light pole the boat is tied off to, and a lost creature sign attached to it. There will be a rotation of gifts hanging from the sign. The boat will have seats for sitting.
