A friend and I sand blasted each piece back to bare metal. I then laid the parts out on a table, moving them until the curve and upward movement of a breaching whale emerged, before tacking and welding them together in those positions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eFrom the beginning I intended to incorporate stone. The stones were sourced from a nearby farm and soften the weight of the metal, bringing natural forms into conversation with reclaimed mechanical objects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eEcho reflects the way marine life now inhabits an ocean increasingly shaped by human activity. Yet the whale remains a figure of movement, resilience and wonder. The title suggests both the enduring presence of whales and the consequences of human actions returning to us across the sea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e© Stephanie Fuller (Burns)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stephanie Fuller Gallery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41237092892744,"sku":null,"price":995.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0277\/9312\/9577\/files\/IMG_5581_1.jpg?v=1784891821","url":"https:\/\/stephaniefullergallery.com\/products\/echo","provider":"Stephanie Fuller Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
