The Narwal has always been one of natures more peculiar entities.  This one is portrayed as perhaps a little more menacing that they would appear in nature.  I think all of the bad news pertaining to the oil spill in the gulf may have “leaked” into my consciousness while making this piece.  The waves seem slicked with oil, and the creature itself seems equipped to have made the mess.  Maybe it wasn’t our fault after all.
