Big Mocha Dick created from Industrial Felt Tristin Lowe

August 26, 2009 by Linda Lanese

What an enormous undertaking, creating this 52-foot Whale out of Industrial Felt and the details throughout this sculpture are incredible.  Tristin did use an inflatable base as the armature for this wonder.  The use of Industrial Felt is just in its childhood as far as creating awesome items like this Whale.  Artists are discovering that felt is realistic, durable and tactile for many applications.  There is a fascinating article about Tristin Lowe and Big Mocha Dick on “The Art Blog”
