This site-specific sculpture consists of four shell forms or “seed boats” and a round form. These five elements are arranged around a stone arch gateway, aligned with the opening of the Monterey Bay to the greater Pacific Ocean. On the inside walls of the arch, a poem by the artist is inscribed in both English and Spanish. The work was begun in a quarry in Ireland and completed in the artist’s studio in Santa Cruz.
