NPR Radio Interview
Lennox Warner is as much an artist as beachcomber. The longtime Atlantic City resident trawls the sands of the beaches looking for material…Rotting sandals. Plastic water bottles. Soda cans. Hunks of styrofoam insulation. Empty suntan lotion pumps. A can of spray paint. A rusty tin of Altoids. Lennox glues it all onto sheets of clear vinyl shaped into a cresting wave about eight feet high….His art almost became part of that flotsam. He was a week away from opening a solo exhibition at the Atlantic City Art Center on the Garden Pier when Sandy hit. He did not have time to pull his sculptures out of the gallery….Warner has proposed the impaled-boat idea to the Atlantic City Arts Commission. Warner used to serve as the group's chairman. He is awaiting their decision. Should they reject, he says he will propose it for the city's planned Sculpture Walk near the Golden Nugget casino. Peter Cimmins
