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”
Awesome project! Love the detail.
But maybe you can better change the title, as I can’t imagine I’m the only one with a dirty mind on here…
Totally didn’t make the connection to Moby, before I read “whale”…
