Process

This spunky little fellow is the result of combining scraps of many disparate items into one intriguing little being. Ingredients for this custom fish include:



  • +Folding mason’s ruler acquired scavenging in a neglected brickyard

  • +Large nut as eye removed from John Deere plow

  • +White beer can found in the lining of a vintage US Navy steamer trunk

  • +Mountain Ranger 1942 token

  • +Russian book cover

  • +Large upholstery tack pried from an easy chair

  • +Green yardstick from abandoned corner store



I go about my travels on the hunt for the reclaimable, the surprising and the delightful. I have encountered many a bluegill on my exploits into the wilderness to fish: they are captivating and I thought quite worthy of reinterpreting in a found medium.
