“Kaitlin Phillips and Kellie Riggs help put the finishing touches on Langley Middle School’s Porca Sighting. The public can view the pod of porcas in Langley on May 12.Jim Larsen/staff photoPigs have dreams, too. At least according to a creative work of art by Langley Middle School art students.In this dream, the porkers in a mud puddle fantasize about becoming orca whales. The LMS artists call them porcas.Their work of art, Porca Sighting — LMS Pod, was nearly completed late last week after many weeks of thought and preparation. In the end, the LMS students in Linda Racicot’s art class created a pod of porcas frolicking in their muddy sea. They turned a single pig created by Clinton sculptor Georgia Gerber into a three-pig porca pod, using nothing but their imaginations and a lot of paint, cement, chicken wire and elbow grease.One porca can be seen leaping out of the pigs’ muddy pond, like an orca soaring out of the blue waters of Puget Sound. The hindquarters of another porca is diving, while a belly rolls in the muddy waves.Porca Sighting will be seen in Langley on Saturday, May 12, as part of the school district’s Youth in Arts celebration. That morning the porkers will participate in Jean Shaw’s World’s Shortest Parade, after which it will spend the afternoon on a trailer for all art lovers to see.The final big part of the project was cementing Porca Sighting into its base of chicken wire. That was done Thursday in the garage of school board member Bob Riggs, whose daughter is on the porca team. I really like it, Kellie Riggs said as she admired the nearly-completed porca display. Adult volunteers Mark Racicot and Jim Pugh supervised the delicate cementing job.Sharp-eyed observers will note that the white patches on the main porca’s black body is a map of Whidbey Island, with a dot denoting the site of Langley Middle School. We kind of snuck that in, said Kaitlin Phillips, another LMS artist.Georgia Gerber, renowned bronze sculptor whose Rachel the Pig adorns the Pike Place Market in Seattle, brought the fiberglass pig to Langley Middle School in February. It was one of 199 fiberglass pigs made from a Gerber cast that will be part of the Pike Place Market Foundation’s Pigs on Parade benefit. The pig that went to LMS was sponsored by Ward Phillips.The LMS Porca Sighting creation will be part of a pig parade May 26 in Seattle, after which all 199 pigs will go on display in the Market District. They’ll be auctioned off in October, an event from which organizers hope to raise $1million.Linda Racicot said her students wanted something unusual for their pig and started with about 50 ideas, finally settling on the porca thing. She doubts if any of the other 198 pigs will be porcas. Nobody’s going to think of that, it’s just the wildest thing, she said.The kids are excited and happy about how it turned out. It represents us. I think it’s cool, Phillips said. “
