Fixing: Fixing: it has one 20mm bolt which can be fastened to a paving slab or similar, which could be supported just below the surface of a lake, to create the effect of the piece floating on the water. Alternatively, it can be bolted to a plinth using the same bolt. The plinth would need to be about 60 to 80 cm high.



I was trying to make use of several interesting-shaped pieces of material by arranging them in various ways relative to each other. I realised they would take on an animate form if I added a lot more material to them. The idea of evolution is expressed by the fact that the form sits somewhere between a reptile and a bird, and by the apparently random direction changes in the neck which finally culminate in a beak.
