The Print a Fish Project

Can you print a fish?

I think you can print a fish (even if you’re not a printmaker yet.) I think you should print a fish AND then you should send me one!

The idea behind my print a fish project is two parts. First, to encourage a collaborative print exchange of fish. I will send you a signed fish print for every fish you send me. Secondly, I hope to use, with permission and attribution, the fish we all create to make something new to share with the public.

Right now I am imagining this project’s first creative goal is to use the fish to creating a repeat pattern design that can be used in my public sculpture I am creating right now. That is, I will combine all the printed fish into something that will swim into a new artistic direction on and through my piece! I see it as a collaboration between my work and your fish.

This work will debut in 2026 in Riverside Park as part of the Art Students League program Works in Public.

Other ideas for the project may come from there.

Why printmaking?
