Scrapfish!

Rick has been making what he calls "scrapfish" from scrap metal for some time now. Last year, he was pleased to have the opportunity to create a large scrapfish installation at the home of Scott and Bridget Mayfield of Fish Lake, WA. This piece, along with the Ganesh statue and a St. Francis statue, represent Rick's interest in sculpting larger, more public installations.

This scrapfish guards the Mayfield's brand new shop, and can be seen from the highway!

Evolution swims

natural selection grins

and bares spiky teeth
