Commissioned work, this sculpture was formed from concrete, the shell was made from natural stones (slate), the limbs are made from pieces of glass inlaid like a mosaic, size 24 cm. There would also have been a very large turtle with comparable technology. Ms. Gerwien studied graphic design and has been working as a freelance artist since 1997. Plays in some works she "with the contrast between the perfection of nature and the legacies of our materialistic culture" by using unusual and found materials and by placing animals, for example, on car tires or a gasoline barrel or spinning them into an old sewing machine. It has undergone an interesting development and is, among other things, on the ARTMUC and the art fair Hamburg represented.
