Fish Drying Operation

Considerately, this place is more than a mile west of town, because it does smell sweet. What at first appeared to be drying eels, turned out to be Atlantic wolffish.

Lightly salted fish hung to dry. Cool operation. #WorthYourSalt

Fish is soaked in sea water to ad salt then hung to dry.

I thought these were eels drying, but I learned that they are cut wolf fish (a.k.a. ‘cat fish’ and ‘devil fish’)

At The Gates of the West Launches Today

Today, I am excited to announce that a novel new website about artists and their work has launched, and I am honored to be included.  About each artist, the site features an introductory Context piece, an interview in the Dialogue, a photo gallery of the artist’s studio, and a Rack of the artist’s work.  The site is At The Gates of the West.

Initially Gates of the West features three artists, Chelsea Gibson, Gail Stoicheff, and myself (Context, Dialogue, Studio, and Rack).

The Moose Petroglyph

Here’s the Moose Rock with the Aspy Bay and Cape North in the background.  My intention was to carve fish and fishermen, but my host argued that people there ate as much moose as fish, so I carved this moose.

Below,  shows the carving painted for printing and a rice paper impression made from the carving.
