Photography, graphic design, fiber arts, and woodwork come together to introduce you to people you already know.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vibe is relaxed. The finish has patina. The members are unapologetically themselves — most certainly flawed, and always patting the seat next to them for you to join in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMeet This Member: Politely Unbeatable\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the only portrait in the collection that actually has people in it. The imagery and details woven into the piece are drawn from the life of the subject — a sailor who is friendly, helpful, and politely unbeatable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cblockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003efriendly, helpful, and politely unbeatable\u003cbr\u003ecan sail anything, from sunfish to J\/32\u003cbr\u003ewill coach you at lunch, then smoke you at the start\u003cbr\u003e—smiles all the way to the finish line\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGood Standing.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Lazarette Piece\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe lazarette is the locker that runs across the transom — the stern of the boat. It’s where the cushions live between sails. These pieces come home from the water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach UNYC portrait begins with photography. Ashley Lippincott deconstructs the image and rebuilds it through graphic design, creating the coastal pop art composition you see here. That design is then digitized and embroidered directly onto Sunbrella — the marine canvas of choice, sourced through the Newport, RI marine canvas tradition Ashley’s husband works in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe piece is then sewn exactly as a boat cushion would be: with a contrasting welt cord, boxing, and foam — and upholstered to a wood panel for hanging. The result is a portrait that belongs on a wall but remembers the water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e18 × 24 inches.
