ARTIST STATEMENT (English / Espanol)

On May 27th of 2008, the celebrated beastologist, Professor Rosengarten, found a LIVING ancient sea beast on the banks of the Hudson River at Peekskill, New York. After thorough examination of the beast, experts believe it to be the very last example of a rare species known as Sea Mare – which was thought to have become extinct somewhere towards the end of the Pagan Era. The phenomenal living Sea Mare will have its first public appearance at the HVCCA on Sunday September 14th 2008
