Shoals — Gyotaku Fish Print SA

Gyotaku Fish Print SA

Shoals

With these shoals I have moved away from the more traditional Gyotaku of single fish, and attempted to create the feeling of being underwater, submerged among the fish. I use multiple prints from the same fish, re-printing with no ink and only water to create lighter prints, giving the illusion of depth , along with overlapping the fish, to strengthen the feeling of depth. The spaces that one can create between the fish groupings and the edge of the paper are integral to creating the feeling of organic movement, sometimes a full frame and other times empty spaces defined by tails, fins and heads that leave and enter the picture. In my most recent work I have even layered prints on top of one another, the paper below adding to the idea of being amongst the fish. Each shoal monoprint is one of its kind.
