3. The Baitfish

Artwork number: 3
Artist: Richard Aitken
Medium: Recycled metal
Description: There is a pillar made from a railway sleeper. On top of this a spherical metal frame that is wrapped in an old bed mattress. Inside the springs are aluminium fish that are designed to wriggle in the breeze. The piece is 1.8 metre tall x 1 metre diameter.
Artist statement: The bait fish's slick body effortlessly cuts the water with refined fluidity. Always alert, staying close to its mate and falsely portraying being bigger persona.
