A life preserver, bu tmake it pop. This is the life preserver at the end of the dock, the one that’s always there but you never really see it until you do. Newport’s version of a welcome mat, it’s sunbleached, salt-stiff and somehow still standing by. Painted in coastal punch tones and roped up like a sailor’s nightmare, this piece keeps watch while everything else drifts.
