Though it’s late January, this fishing shack is still only waiting in the wings; either the ice is not yet thick enough or the road to the ice might not be completely passable (see below).

And this is what #2 looks like inside. Note the wood stove, crucial to the whole endeavor; you definitely want to be warm when you’re sitting around in sub zero windchill.

I love how the craftsperson here went an extra mile – incorporating the vernacular of the area into this simple project. It reminds me of the works exhibited at the now defunct (and much lamented) Stratton Arts Festival that was held every fall at Stratton Mountain. Only VT artists and craftspeople could enter – and it was an incredible show, always. Some of my favorites over the years included a blazer made entirely of cedar shingles (it looked like you could wear it to a formal dinner) and an actual cord of wood with the top dusted in gold sparkled paint. I miss the VT ethos in those shows: a sublime blend of humor, intelligence and skill grounded in the natural world. This piece of art would have felt at home there.
