This playful tabletop sculpture is one of a new series created by Roch Smith, a Canadian artist known for his imaginative artwork. A male figure, dressed as a surfer in board shorts stands on a surfboard that is riding the ‘wave’ of an upside-down fork. The sculpture is cast in bronze and mounted on a wooden base. The figure is intentionally small relative to the full size of the utensil as the artist is exploring the idea of scale.“Perhaps (this is) just a way of thinking about the shapes of utensils in different ways. Fun.” Roch Smith
