“This silver cast of the inner ear of a great whale contains a glass phial of water collected from the sea bed off the remote island of North Rona in the North Atlantic. Silver, whale and sea water somehow connect in place, history and preciousness and as a result of this work further sculpture has been spawned, not least ‘Porpoise’ part of the ’Evolution’ series. I am told that if you hold the silver inner ear to your own ear and listen very carefully you still can hear the sea.” - Steve Dilworth
