Winning Design by CARSON SMUTS. Carrol Boyes competition  -  The Winning METAL 2010 designer,

"Titled “The Urchin” this piece is both unique and deceptively simple. The careful arrangement of the three “spines”around a central pivot results in a radial symmetry creating balance and harmony. Poised on three points as if ready for action, “The Urchin” radiates an energy that encourages this piece to be used either as a “stand alone” feature oras a vessel." - Carrol Boyes WebSIte
