Seahorse Number Two
Marble and Garnet on an Agate/Quartz base
6x4x3, 2008
Artist's notes: I chose to carve the Seahorse, because I think that they are fascinating creatures. Their prehensile tails
allow for some interesting spirals. This sculpture is carved from Ruby Lake Marble (the quarry is located near Thunder
Bay), and the eyes are made of Garnet, the birthstone for January. The base is a specimen from the Thunder Bay Agate
Mine.
