Dolphin Spirits Rising

20' — Arbutus & Yew — 2000

I designed, carved and installed this sculpture of four dolphins.
They are carved from a single 14' arbutus trunk.
It all hangs from a yew trunk kingpost carved like a snakehead.

Kingpost made of yew wood
and carved as snakehead
with music cleft motif for skin.
I installed this at the peak
of a 25' high foyer roof.

Hanging from the kingpost are the dolphins.
The sculpture hangs at a steep upward angle
and swivels in a 12' circle.

Commissioned by Ann Mortifee
for the entrance to her private residence.
