Have you ever felt like a fish out of water?
I’ve illustrated that metaphor in a series of fine art images which have been featured “On TV!” in magazines, galleries and museums for more than a decade.
The technical concept: fish are tossed by an assistant and are captured (photographed) in camera. I use fish that I have collected and carry to typically arid locations far and near. On one Denver NBC-TV broadcast we used real smelts! The news special celebrated the 150th birthday of photography.
On October 6th I’ll be showing a new work, “Yipes!” shown here. I was asked to present the print in the 35th Anniversary invitational group show, “Confluence”, at the Emmanuel Gallery on the Auraria Campus. The opening reception is from 4-7 pm and you are invited.
It is my good fortune to work with Ron Landucci, fine art printer of Infinite Editions and Randolph Laub of Randolph Laub Studio who created an original profile to frame the piece.
