Artwork Story

Exhibited Laguna Art Museum 1998-9 "Life Lessons: How Art Can Change Your Life"

Stuart Spence

We first heard of Stecyk through an LA Times curiosity story about an artist who was casting life-sized bronze torsos, and then deep six-ing them in Santa Monica Bay; without making art objects out of the documentation. We finally tracked him down, and brought home the fishing trophy which has been over our mantlepiece ever since. What will a fortieth century archaeologist say about the bronzes when they re-surface?
