Matt Carney WhalePod Sculpture

"When we encounter the enormous mass of a whale, we are struck by the insignificance of our own form and thus realise the true relationship that we share with our world. This work is a meeting place for the community and people who visit the island and a source of discussion and acknowledging the symbiotic relationship that we have with the other inhabitants of Earth. The inter-generational dependence of mother and calf depicts the continuity we experience from past and present."
