This project was done while working at WOWHAUS design. We were contacted to create a large scale installation in the cafeteria of Central Kitsap Middle School, using the surrounding community as inspiration.
This area is a historic seafaring community with a rich history of fishing and traditional boatbuilding. Orcas can often be seen patrolling the shores of this area. Surrounded by lakes and just a short drive from the ocean, we used these themes as inspiration for the project. The form of the wooden orca is fabricated in the fashion traditional wooden boats have been made for hundreds of years. The main spine and fins were carved by the head designer, Scott Constable. On top of this, steam heated cedar was bent into shape using various jigs, and riveted into place. The whole piece was then shipped to Washington and installed, swimming through the air of this local school.
