Fish Couture
Title
Fish Couture
Description
In cultures around the world, fish play an integral part in daily life as food, objects of study and recreational pursuit, and as characters in stories and parables. Over the last several years, I have built the portion of my collection that documents the social history of fish, including ways that lay people interact with fish in a non-technical way. This print by George Spratt illustrates a woman whose body and clothing comprise different species of fish and other aquatic organisms.
