Sea Change

It's a drilling a well.
No..It's a CIA observation platform
Naw...It's scientific, you know, for whales-n-stuff
Well let's see. Welded stainless, painted in a custom color,with a sort of misshapen skirt, made of roofing material, tacked on its upper bout. It must be art.
But it's useful. The top pivots in the wind, like a weather vane, and it's placed by a marina. Useful would never get past the Arts Commission.

Sea Change is a 60'h x 30'w x 30'd stainless steel Mark di Suvero sculpture at 40 S. Beach Harbor, installed in 1995.
