Caption: Wearing his signature hat, traditional boatbuilder Joshua Swan trims and nails cedar planks into place on the skeletal curve of a boat under construction in the woodshop at the Mosse Humanities Building. As artist in residence in the Art Department, Swan is building a 13.5-foot rowing workboat, known as a Maine "peapod," from start to finish during an 8-week period. Swan says the process involves "a lot of cut hands, bumped knuckles, head scratching and repetitive steps."
