These fish prints were my first exploration into making prints.  The idea of fish came from a conversation with a young girl about a fishing trip.  She mentioned that her mother had caught a fish which had lots of fish inside it.  This sparked off vivid imagery for me and I kept visualising brightly coloured fish swimming around on paper. Using thin foam to make fish ‘stamps’ from I painted the stamp to get different colour combinations creating the schools of fish one by one. I never gave fish much thought before but now I see what magnificent creatures they are.  The prints below are a small selection from a three month period of trialling different combinations.
