Anglesey Sea Bass Diptych Gyotaku
This bass was caught on a line by a local fisherman here in North Wales. It was caught on the Menai Stait. Bass are my favourite fish to print the definition you get on the scales is wonderful. Whereas most Gyotaku are made to record a fisherman's catch, I combine my experience as an oil painter and create Gyotaku that are more expressive using colour in a less conventional way. Here I have used the same fish, printing it several times and repositioning it, inking it again and then lining it up carefully to create this composition. This print is on Thai mulberry paper and I have used the traditional Sumi ink. This must be left longer for the ink to fully cure into the paper before attempting the next stage. Printing is just the first part of the process. After printing, the paper is cockle
