This rather sizeable sculpture in lustrous green stone depicts a whale and her young, their bodies seamlessly fused into one flowing form. The smooth, weighty surface conveys a tangible sense of maternal protection, as if tenderness itself has been shaped from stone. The polished verdant hues shimmer like light glancing across deep water, giving the work both tenderness and strength.
