Diptych of Anglesey Sea Bass Gyotaku

Diptych of Anglesey Sea Bass GyotakuThis 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. I made this print by first taking an impression from the surface of the fish onto a washi paper. That print then needs to be flattened out. I do this using the uruachi method which requires me to adhere the print to a second sheet of paper using a flour and

permanent inks to ensure lasting vibrancy

red and yellow I printed the same shell 24 times onto this sheet

This process flattens the print back out so it is suitable for framing

This print will be posted out using an insured service

Items are usually shipped within five working days

What a beautiful fish
