 Artist note: I was reading Moby Dick when when I was invited to  exhibit work for The 8th International Shoebox Exhibition, 2003-2006, A World Traveling Exhibition, organized by the University of Hawaii, Honolulu, HI. I was so excited about getting invited that I immediately created this piece in order to have it finished for the exhibit, but was told that it exceeded the exhibition limitation, "Sculpture must not exceed 12 inches in any dimension". In order to make the deadline I went to work on Mastodon #3, The Last Haul.
