CreatorEmma Louise DaviesTitleCruisingDate30 October 2017MediumConcreteArtist StatementIn my concept design I wanted to capture this sense of cruising fish and to draw attention to the complex marine environment on our doorstep. I enlarged the fish enough to allow an opening which would comfortably fit a person – the idea being that children in particular may enjoy being ‘inside’ the fish. The fish has been placed on the ground at an angle to increase its stability but also to allow a sense of movement as if the fish is diving.Specific Place[1] Accession Number054.2019Access AdviceFor research purposes only.
