Got ‘em

Artists: Kirstin Geldhof & Electronics Engineering Group
Sponsor: Whirlpool Corporation, Dial 158

Lots of hands help put Got’em together! Our ideas started flowing and then we took an about face on our concept when we saw how big the forms were! Wow! And we thought – wouldn’t that be a grand thing to pull out of the water?” And from there our fanciful fish came to be. Part Koi, part Parrott Fish, part Beta fish, and whole bunch of imagination brought our fish to life. Not sitting back our painting achievement alone we decided to add an element to enhance the evening. Over 1237 holes were drilled into the fiberglass form. And if you dine at Ryebells, from the deck l you will see a special insignia on the top of the head! Got’em is illuminated with LED’s to outshine and blaze through the patterns throughout the body. Of course this came about from the kid spirit in all of us!
