You can see a slightly larger reproduction from <a href="http://web.mac.com/kofoeddesign/iWeb/KofoedDesign/KofoedGiclees.html">this page</a>, where it is one of the images Kofoed offers as giclée prints. My assumption is that it represents a large large alien life form illuminated by searchlights from small flying craft. The resemblance to the folds of brain tissue may not be coincidental. I know that Karl takes much of his inspiration for postulating alien life from existing biological forms. I have often known him to be fascinated by small plants, seedpods other bits of nature that go unnoticed by the rest of us. The work is called “Sea Treasure”.

The spotlights spotted the magnificent points of the art thereby increasing the awe from any audience. Is this artwork related to biological science? It’s a unique and artistic way of representing the complicated tangles of neurons in a human brain though it’s much more majestic. John Is the work of art featured in here set on a stage?
