Field notes
The proposal is built around a 42-by-24-inch orca body: poured acrylic forms the water below, while thinned acrylic glazes over white primer build the bluff above. Dillan describes the upper layers as intended to keep the leaves luminous while meeting a ten-year outdoor-durability requirement; the page also shows a mock-up, working drawing, plant studies, and a schematic marked “proportions indicative, not to scale.”
