River Mates

Great Blue Heron, Fish & Turtle 20H x 12L x 3W

“River Mates” is a statement piece that portrays the relationship between many living things and how they are connected together in nature. I choose the heron, turtle, and fish to link the different ecosystems together and represent air, land, and water. In doing so, I am showing the symbiotic, harmonious, and balanced relationship they share together in the environment. The subject’s forward movement in the design of “River Mates,” represents the future and the constant motion of life together. This size was the maquette for the larger version.
