Artist's Comments

Cast aluminum using lost styrofoam technique. One of a kind vessel (the cape thing is the lid).
2008

The lid was inspired by sea slugs with their gills sticking up from their backs. The bottom piece was a deliberate emulation of a vessel by Thom Lynn, a dear teacher of mine.

(I can't help but see my cat Pigeon in the speckled part of this piece. She is rather portly and bottom heavy when sitting.)

**EDIT**
Here's a story my friend told me when I asked her what this piece made her think of:

He's a little creature that lives in the ocean by Antarctica, and he's the only one in the world, except for one other. She lives in the Arctic Ocean.

Every few years they make a journey across the seas to find each other, walking with their little feet along the ocean floor. Sometimes they swim by fluttering their capes to avoid the deep dark trenches.

At last they meet in the middle of the seas, where they can forget their lonliness. Unless, of course, they both go in the same direction, ending up at each other's poles where they sing and flutter in sadness until they give up and go home.

It looks to me like a flower. A flower from the depths of the vast sea, maybe:) Great job, you're really skilled in this:D
Thank you :hug: Like most of my projects, I didn't have a clue how my idea would turn out when I started this, but I'm really happy with it. I'm gald you like it too!

I don't know if you've ever seen photos of those sea slugs that have their gills sitting outside their bodies. They come in all kinds of insanely bright colours and look very like bizarre flowers. Anyway, that's what creature inspired the lid.
