This year @indianolafranklin and I finished the project of a lifetime at the world’s first #saltwater #aquarium on the #chicago #lakefront @shedd_aquarium Made with 1600 #slipcast #ceramic #fish, 6 species in multiple poses and miles of cables were made to create an underwater scene of predators and prey in #lakemichigan. It was made with the generous support of @kohler the #kohler family and factory associates in #kohlerwisconsin Thank you and happy new year to everyone who helped us make this project a reality, with a special thanks to the great folks at the Shedd that helped us incorporate it into their vision for the future of the historic aquarium. #laketrout #walleye #northernpike #longnosegar #sturgeon #ciscoe
