"Puffin"

Wall hung mixed media sculpture with repurposed metal and vintage recipe box.

Did you know that Puffins are named after monks? Their genus name, Fratercula, comes from the Latin word for "little brother".  The name refers to the black and white plumage which was said to resemble the robes that monks once wore. Their name might come from monks but they look like little clowns to me.  This little guy is a horned puffin and inspired by a kayak trip in Alaska.
