Sienna
Depth 3.8m - 1.2x .52m
This steel sculpture is based on a character from the short story 'A Different Ocean' by Grenadian Author Jacob Ross.
Sienna is a young athletic girl who has a special gift for free diving.
The story is a tale of friendship and betrayal as Sienna’s talents are exploited in the search for lost treasures.
The metal framework is designed to allow currents to pass through the body whilst providing a stable structure for filter feeding organisms to colonize.
La Diablesse
Depth 7.5m - 2.2x .50m
(La jah-bless) from the French, she-devil. Based on Caribbean folklore, the Devil Woman roams at night. Her face resembles that of a corpse, hidden under a beautiful wide-brimmed hat.
Always dressed exquisitely in a white blouse and a long petticoated skirt to hide her feet, one being a cloven hoof warning of her ominous approach. Despised by women but enchanting to men. In public will charm and seduce them into following her home. Once under her spell she disposes of her male victims by walking them off a cliff or stamping on their heads with her cloven foot. It is believed that when a woman dies during childbirth she returns as a La Diablesse.
