Hashidate Maru

DateTuesday, January 27, 2009 at 02:46AM

(12'×9') This is the largest tape mural I've done and it's on the wall at 55 Norfolk. After WWII my Grandfather spent two years on a whaling ship in the Antarctic called the Hashidate Maru. He used to tell me stories about how smart the whales were, how they were so strong they'd burn out the engines of the boats by pulling them for miles. I think this piece is my imagining of that struggle but from the whale's perspective. It feels both violent and serene to me.
