As you look back on your life, you will often realize that many of the times you thought you were being rejected from something good, you were in fact being redirected to something better. You can’t control everything. Sometimes you just need to relax and have faith that things will work out. Let…

Eulogy, 2011 . Patricia Piccinini
Mostly in my work I try to imagine what could be or might be, but isn’t. In doing this I am often struck by how restrained my own inventions are, when compared to the truly bizarre creatures that actually do exist. Within nature there are beings so strange that they would be difficult to accept if they were not actually real. The Blobfish (Psychrolutes marcidus) is one such miraculous aquatic creature. It lives in the deep seas south of Australia, and was relatively unknown to science until deep-sea fishing boats started pulling them up in the 1980s, victims of collateral damage resulting from crab trawling. In the short time since then they have been driven to the brink of extinction. Not deliberately, not because we wanted something from them, but basically by accident. I find it hard to imagine a ‘save the blobfish’ campaign. It is a marvellously uncharismatic creature, even its name is discouraging. It is certainly no Panda or Mountain Gorilla. However, despite all that, to me the blobfish is extraordinary. Its gelatenous body is almost the same density as sea water, making it perfectly adapted to the immense pressure of its bathic home. This sculpture is a celebration of the simple, gormless, wonderful existence of the blobfish. It is a eulogy for this particular specimen, supported in death by a very ordinary looking man. Perhaps he is one of the millions of ordinary people who neither know nor care much about the fate of the blobfish. Even so he seems genuinely moved by the fate of this unprepossessing fish. There is hope in that.

Making room: The rescue team has had to add extra tanks to the Animal Care Center to accommodate at the sea turtle patients. This is what a full house looks like.
But even with so many turtles in treatment, some cases definitely stand out. Meet #25.

We all have the potential to fall in love a thousand times in our lifetime. It’s easy. The first girl I ever loved was someone I knew in sixth grade. Her name was Missy; we talked about horses. The last girl I love will be someone I haven’t even met yet, probably. They all count. But there are certain people you love who do something else; they define how you classify what love is supposed to feel like. These are the most important people in your life, and you’ll meet maybe four or five of these people over the span of 80 years. But there’s still one more tier to all this; there is always one person you love who becomes that definition. It usually happens retrospectively, but it happens eventually. This is the person who unknowingly sets the template for what you will always love about other people, even if some of these loveable qualities are self-destructive and unreasonable. The person who defines your understanding of love is not inherently different than anyone else, and they’re often just the person you happen to meet the first time you really, really, want to love someone. But that person still wins. They win, and you lose. Because for the rest of your life, they will control how you feel about everyone else.

About
Live. Laugh. Love. <3Me in a nutshell. 8)
Laughing is like breathing. I'm a kid at heart & believe in living in the moment. I love to go on adventures, especially if they're random and spontaneous. I am a HUGE dreamer. I'm scared of bees and I dislike packing. Ultimate tree hugger and environmentalist. I looove the ocean. Some say it's an obsession, I call it a passion. I'm into dance, photography, diving, hiking and art. I love to try new things. I'm waaay too optimistic. I've had my share of downs, but there's ALWAYS a bright side to everything. Enjoying the simple things in life & FOOD keep me happy. (;
