Curiosity






Yesterday we visited the McManus gallery and museum as part of our Visual Communication's class, looking for things that could spark curiosity. There were a lot of things in there that I found both interesting and fascinating, but the one object that captured my interest the most was this harpoon.

It was the twist in it that made me curious, I wondered if it was part of the design or if it had any reason to it. After reading its information sheet, I discovered the twists had been created by a harpooned whale in its struggle to escape.
