Slippery
When Wet
Elusive,
colorful, calming to watch, fish feed the body, mind, and soul. Ancient
symbols of fertility and talismans of taboo, piscine images inspire and
guide.
Curved
to fit the hand, each six-inch, smolt-size fish book is served on ice
in a tagged and ribbon-tied, clear, recyclable food box. All fourteen
pages are individually hand cut and drilled to pivot around a brass spiral
through the mouth. A feathered lure dangles from a brass ring that doubles
as a hanger for wall display or to group the catch as a sculptural clutch.
Imprinted with watercolor illustrations of red Koi, blue Zephyr, and yellow
Clown Fish, each leathery, 300# Aquarell cover is individually cut, wet-sculpted,
and contoured so tails curl and matching covers curve together. Inside
covers are finished with color-coordinated acrylic paints. Protective
high gloss lacquer keeps each poisson wet.
