Menai Strait Codling

Menai Strait CodlingWe walk our dogs past the Menai Strait everyday. Further down, it opens up past Caernarfon and our friend Andy goes out this way regularly. He gifted me this codling one day when I was picking up some bass for dinner. I found this quite a difficult fish to print if I'm honest but this print turned out pretty well. It's on Japanese paper and measures cm. It's printed in light fast, permanent acrylic ink. The print measures 90x60cm approximately. Every

The print is supplied in a white mount with a backing board measuring approx 40cmx51cm

The paper I bought in Tokyo on a recent visit and it's got a gold fleck in it for some added sparkle

This lobster was caught in a pot by a local fisherman here in North Wales

Any questions just drop me a line

Created using Gyotaku — a traditional Japanese technique once used to record ocean specimens — the process becomes a poignant way to reflect on the man-made objects now found in our seas
