Way Back When...,
In 1977 I was working in a stained glass studio and experimenting with mixed media sculpture on the side. I had a geode that someone gave me and it looked like a fish filet. I had some wire so I fashioned what I thought looked like a fish and used the geode for the fish body. I hung it in my studio and everyone that visited admired it.
I could not find another geode so I started using old rusty corrugated barn tin and bailer wire. Again, the fish seemed to be very popular. Soon I discovered that not everyone liked the rustic look so I started making the shiny metal version. When I found barn tin I would make rusty fish and as I collected shiny metal I made shiny fish. What I was discovering was there was an audience for every type fish I could make.
