The client had a vision for this particular sculpture commission.
As a child the client frequently holidayed with her family on a fishing island called Castara, in the Caribbean and one of her favorite
child hood memories was watching the Castara fishermen bringing in their days catch.
Last year whilst on holiday in Africa, she watched the local fishermen carve out fishing boats from tree's using axes and machete's.
She asked the fisherman if they would make her one for a fee, the fishermen agreed and the client had the boat shipped back to England.
