Alaskan Seapottery Whale Tail Sculpture “Scars”
This mixed-media wall sculpture titled “Scars” is an evocative piece of contemporary Alaskan coastal art, purchased from the Sitka Rose Gallery in Sitka, Alaska. The work depicts a humpback whale fluke formed from carefully arranged fragments of antique and vintage seapottery, set against a weathered wooden plank believed to originate from an old fishing vessel. The varied glazes, textures, and natural breaks in the pottery reference the unique markings used to identify individual whales.
Accompanied by the original gallery documentation, the artist’s statement explains the symbolism of scars—both in whales and in human culture—emphasizing resilience, survival, and shared history. Materials include salvaged seapottery collected in Southeast Alaska, beach-found wood from Wrangell, and copper wire elements. A thoughtful and regionally significant artwork, ideal for collectors of Alaskan, coastal, or environmentally inspired art.
