Fish in the Seas and in the Trees

This piece developed the idea of fish in the trees - playing particularly on the discovery that trees along rivers, sometimes many kilometres inland upstream, often contain fish proteins. This was only discovered as DNA analysis became more sophisticated in recent years. It happens because of the predators (birds, bears and more) that catch the fish often leave parts of the fish uneaten, and the proteins move through the natural cycles of rainwater, microbes, fungi and into the trees.

It is also available as a high-quality print on rag paper with pigment-based ink.

Here the use of different types of papers, including printed material and marbled paper as well as fish images done with aquarelle sticks and inks continue the idea that habitats are essentially connective spaces, including for us humans.
