I like to look for patterns in nature, it often repeats in different animals and plants , and here in this whale vertebra the echo of its origin is brought out , the vertical axis is the outline of a sperm whale head. I spent a lot of time looking at it before the moby dick head shape showed itself . I then added the whale flukes to lure the spectator into the story behind the piece. Bones have histories and i like the idea of showing them up! The patina is an old bone yellow look . edition of 5

Born in 1956, John Coll has had an interest in art and the natural world since he was a boy. He studied marine biology at NUI Galway and worked as a biologist on a fish farm. At the age of 27 he became a professional sculptor. Much of his work is inspired by the marine environment and the human interaction with it. An accomplished portraitist, he has sculpted many busts of Irish writers and more recently the President of Ireland , Michael D Higgins . In 2018 he completed a 2 meter sculpture of Dr Michael Smurfit for the Smurfit Business School and most recently a sculpture of the singer Luke Kelly that sits on South King Street in Dublin . His working medium is cast and welded bronze and stainless steel.
