Whalebone Arch consists of two large sculptures-semi-realistic forms of Fin Whale mandibles, supported by a metal frame. Hoisted upward, they reproduce the arches/ openings made from whale bones spread in different parts of the globe: from the Siberian and American coasts, to the Atlantic coasts of countries with whaling traditions.

Produced by Fondazione Museo della Ceramica di Montelupo e Comune di Scandicci, Florence

In collaboration with Tuscany Art, Poggibonsi, Siena
