"BLUE DOG" Shark

John Orne Johnson Frost created many sculptures of fish, birds, and ships inspired by his time spent at sea. He made "BLUE DOG" Shark from a section of wooden board, which he cut out and shaped to create the image of a fish. Frost hung sculptures like this from the rafters of his workshop to teach visitors about the different types of fish.
