Artist Statement

Transmission tower atop a sea-facing window—or perhaps an intercepted aquarium. Ode to the carp that leaps over the dragon’s gate. Another ode to the sea as a historical carrier cross-distance, but also a separator.

Thank you to the generous team in the Fishes Collection at the Field Museum for allowing me to study specimens + photograph a disarticulated carp skeleton for this project!
