THE FEDERAL COLLECTION
New Work by Eric Steeves | Plum Island Drift
Blochaus Art Gallery is excited to present The Federal Collection, a new series of sculptural whales carved from reclaimed floorboards taken from a historic home on Federal Street in Newburyport, built in 1850.
Painted dozens of times over the years, the boards developed incredible blue chippy paint textures and character, now preserved in each sculpture.
The result is a collection that feels deeply tied to the coastal history of Newburyport and Plum Island.
Opening Reception
April 3 | 5–9 PM
One weekend only
