Monterey Bay Sea Otters
$22.00
The southern sea otter, twice almost gone from this coast and twice come back. From the breakwater above Cannery Row you can watch them work the kelp at the edge of the bay, diving for urchins, surfacing on their backs to crack a shell on a stone they keep tucked in their fur. At Elkhorn Slough, twenty miles north, mothers and pups raft together in the channel, holding hands while they sleep so the tide doesn't take them apart. The kelp forest exists because the otters do.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
