Title of the Work: Ocean Dancer II
Context:
Growing up on the
beach, has brought me into contact with a variety of marine life living off our
California Coast. The one creature that stands out the most is the California Round
Stingray, (Urolophus halleri). The purpose of my
sculpture is to bring awareness to the public about these wonderful creates and
the interaction when entering their domain.
What:
Bronze Sting
Ray Sculpture with a wing spanned of 21” and tail length of 36” . Curved tail
from base, The height, approximately height of forty inches. The rods will be
hidden by the flowing kelp and give support to the ray, extending the ray in
mid-air creating an appearance of swimming.
Why:
My intention is to
cast a large bronze stingray sculpture depicting beautiful stingrays in their
natural habitat and install it in public view with a plaque educating
beach-goers on the presence of these creatures, and how to safely enjoy the
beach, protecting themselves and the stingray habitat at the same time.
