- Biographical Information
- There are ten lifeforms on the sculpture. On the front side, at the top of the sculpture is a human holding a Chum Salmon, below is a Roosevelt Elk, Great Frigatebird, Spotted Lady Beetle and Salamander Ambystoma Gracile. These represent a wide range of habitats and ecosystems. On the back side, which is no less important, I selected life-forms which have in common the utilization of saltwater habitat. The Dunganess Crab, Tiger Rockfish, Pelagic Cormorant and Alaria Marginata [are arranged] in that order from top to bottom. (Hoffman, 14 December, 1993)
