Like a rather surreal underwater scene, two beautifully dynamic sharks and a floating sting ray are circling Coastal Gallery this week. Created by Andy Baerselman using resin coated birch wood, these sculptures are both an engineering and an artistic triumph. Ingenious layering of blue resin leaves the grain of the wood showing through to varying degrees across the body of the sculpture, almost as if the light were catching the real thing just below the surface of the sea. Andy’s work has been exhibited across the country, from National Trust properties to super yachts.
