Rock Fish

rock boulder, 2006

Fish with large fin, Feb. 2007

This weighs close to 200 lbs w/out the base. It is carved from a rock boulder in a way that some of the rough, rust-colored boulder surface still shows. The underlying stone is grayish-black when polished. It is very difficult to find a boulder that allows for this shape to be carved.

the original rock was a rounded wedge shape
