This unnamed sculpture by Alex Anderson is installed at Valley Creek Estuary Park in Port Angeles. If you’re not familiar with whale physiology it’s styled after a whale vertebrae. The scale of the piece is substantial. It weighs seven tons and is 12 feet tall and four feet thick. It was a $65,000 gift to Port Angeles by an anonymous donor.
I understand why the donor might want to be anonymous!
It does look big- bigger than the actual vertebrae.
Looks like a fun thing for kids to climb upon when running away from mommy and daddy! We have a grandson named Alex Anderson, but I don’t think he did this sculpture. He’s in marketing not production. 🙂
7 tons?! Holy cow! Or should I say…holy whale bone!
