Day 45. Baboon from the sea

I realized I forgot to share my Domains art discovery: one of the first pieces of art that I saw was in the restaurant of the 21c Museum-Hotel in Durham where the Sunday night event took place. It's a baboon, and a very attention-getting baboon at that. Given that baboons are part of the summer of African folktales (currently 25 baboon stories indexed), I was even more excited to discover this work of art. It's by Gilles Cenazandotti and is made from objects recovered from the sea. He has other beautiful animal sculptures in this same style: Gilles-Cenazandotti.com.
