Frog Snot explores the intersection of childhood nostalgia and the world of model sailboat racing. The project draws inspiration from the artist’s memories of fishing at Redd’s Pond in Marblehead, MA.
At its heart, Frog Snot is about coming of age. Reflecting on time, patience, and a longing for the simplicity of childhood. The artist experiences his own personal growth, reexamining something that once seemed insignificant as a child and finding beauty in it during adulthood. The work bridges the gap between play and precision, youth and maturity, offering a nuanced reflection on how we revisit our past with new perspectives.
