The Viking Norse longboat is a vehicle Ive long been very inspired by - A vessel that braved the open ocean sea to explore and travel a thousand yrs ago. The incredible possibilities of exploration it unfolds. When i visited my brother in Norway in 1999, he as per usual, showed us every aspect of Norwegian culture and life style. This sparked my imagination and i have used aspects of what i gained from that trip in the designs Ive tried to create over the years. From a viking Norse inverted Longboat entrance features, on one of my home designs, to a viking Norse longboat feasting table. To an eventual candle holder whale light over the VNLT table. To a poem of dreams yet to be envisaged , around a VNL voyage coupled brilliant conversation, incredible food and wine. A table to depic5 a voyage of discovery through the senses, thats a table - Dabbling between the various expressive mediums - creativity is really about having abit of fun. Mostly not taking yourself to seriously to be honest.
A poem
Conversations VNLT style - 2012
Ocean born, quest set sail.
Visions, dreams, success fail.
Conversations inspired, quests spark.
Sounds of ocean fury & island larks.
Imagining a far off spice route.
Buried pirates treasure, share loot.
A table, family immediate spent time.
Food, love, laughter & fine wine.
Set sail destinations far horizon line.
Conversations born from lifes run rhymes.
