Hulls by Richard Deutsch

Hulls commemorates Mission Bay’s waterfront, which is steeped in maritime history.  During the 16th century Ohlone Indians, sustained by hunting and fishing, built boats from reeds of the bay’s shallow waters.  The 1800’s saw a vibrant industry of wooden schooners and ferryboat builders, which later lead to the fabrication of large metal World War 1 and II submarines and battleships.

Born in Los Angles, Richards work is extensive with pieces all over the world, as can be seen on his website

    Looks like huge wings to me…or sails. Nice shot with the fluffy clouds in the background.
