Beyond the Borders – the Ocean
A massive piece by Lin Shuen Long, born in Taiwan in 1959.  An active artist to this day, he is primarily based in Taiwan and Japan.Sculpted as a giant floating seed, The Seed Ship was originally constructed entirely from scraps of wood washed ashore on the bay of Taiwan.  First assembled and displayed on the Japanese island of Teshima for the 2013 Triennale, this sculpture was subsequently moved to Long’s native home of Taiwan.
Now returning for the 2016 Triennale, this piece will be on display during the Spring and Summer seasons.  Visitors will also have the opportunity to walk inside and explore the interior of this giant sculpture!
