LOST AT SEA

a whimsical account of beachcombed objects

"Where's that dratted milk jug?"

A diplomatic incident

"Ooh la la, ma chaussure!"

Saint Peter is foiled by the one that got away

Running low on flower power

Here you will find a collection of objects that I recently found on the beach, and an unlikely history behind them. When I picked these things out from the sand my mind started wandering: who was the last person to touch this? who made this? what was its purpose? I will never know the truth about these little broken things, but these famous protagonists of classic artworks might know something more than me.
