The Back Story:
The Fisherman's Lament
Oh, the cruelty! When clever little fishies steal my bait, and flee.
No one has ever seen a school of fish quite like these. They sprang whimsically from their creator’s imagination, perhaps bent on a single purpose – to avoid the fisherman’s deceiving lure while snagging an easy meal. Fish forms in silhouette are popular subjects in abstract art because their distinctive profile is easily recognizable, even if not representational of any particular species. The sea is the stage for the timeless battle between fish and fisherman, when predator imagines prey swimming blissfully just below – tauntingly out of reach.
