Save the whales in Bridport



Title: The whale and her baby (1998)

The whale comes from Bremen and the baby was born beneath Golden cap. Whales shouldn’t be killed, shouldn’t they? By the way, the blue stocking is a story on its own. (Another lovely lady). The colour blue is a representation of the seven sees, the artist has sailed when he was a sailor aboard merchant ships. I tell you a story. The big beech tree from Bremen was to become a piece of wood carving. But shortly after the artist picked up this kind of artwork, he cut his right thumb and had to give in. Save the whales!

This piece is part of an exhibition which is on display at the bar No.10 in Bridport, Dorset, UK. The exhibition can be viewed until end of April 2011.
