Sail-frames
Sail-frames are sail shapes distilled down to their minimum characteristics and presented as free hanging art objects that are susceptible to the whims of wind.
Clippers, cutters, sloops, ketches and yawls all have distinctly recognizable shapes and familiar geometry that lends them to abstraction.

Don’t give up the ship” was the dying command of US Naval Officer James Lawrence and as on the battle flag of Oliver Hazard Perry during the War of 1812.
In the current political economic situation the battle cry seems as relevant now, as it was in 1812.
