Cecilia the Sea Serpent

Artist, Robin Tost made a quick drawing, then a paper and tape maquette of Cecilia, which evolved into 9’ x 25’ sculpture that took almost two years to create. “It saved me during Covid,” Tost explains. “ I have no idea how I developed the idea for the serpent, but the name came from a 1962 children’s TV show, Beany and Cecil. Cecil, or the Seasick Sea Serpent, was a large green serpent with a slight lisp. Memories of the show have stayed with me all this time.”
