Luff
“If you’re a yachtie and you’re “luffing”, your sail is flapping – you’ve gone too far easing out the sheet, and you’re no longer harnessing the wind – out on the water, an encounter with this term is familiar, known, and informative. Here in the gallery, the word comes across unexpectedly, cute, and perhaps with a hint of intrigue. In this way, the nautical verb plays its part in welcoming you to this space, providing an exotic encounter which takes you abroad in the mind, in an act of dépaysement – one that leads you out of your familiar territory – and into a new realm, replete with four seasons.”
