HAYDON WILLIAMS

AQUATIC SPECIMEN

In the Japanese hunting town of Taiji every year from September to April pods of Dolphins are driven into the notorious 'Cove'. Next day they are all killed using a metal pin driven into the spinal cord. The Pitt Rivers museum collections inspired this art work, in its representation of an event which is ancient yet truly evil in todays world.
