‘See Life’ by John Cox at Swell Sculpture Festival 2015. The sculpture of a breaching whale incorporates a high tech lighting display and is covered in relief images of people, birds, and a variety of sea creatures for viewers to find.

John has been a fan of American illustrators JC Leyendecker, N.C Wyeth, Howard Pyle, Maxfield Parish, and Norman Rockwell for forever.

We stayed much longer…
