Even super heroes need a little time off to enjoy the classic American summer vacation. Off Duty is Jason Dussault’s latest body of work, a series of mosaic surfboard sculptures depicting super-heroes and comic book characters in various tongue-in-cheek “Off Duty” scenarios; Superwoman playing beach volleyball, Wolverine BBQing, Cat Woman partying and Spiderman water skiing, to name a few. Off Duty is whimsical reminder that even though we all mature into adulthood, we should never lose the connection with the innocence of our inner child. Dussault created the sculptures in Montauk during his month-long Artist Residency at Ruschmeyer’s. Each of the characters where assembled with broken glazed clay on vintage surfboards sourced from Montauk. Montauk was the perfect place to create and display these playful characters on a tool that represents one of the most iconic American summer destinations.
