Description of Work:
The piece that harmonizes the salmon theme, a contemporary colour blended aluminum Fish Trap. Fish silhouettes are pierced out from the one-inch aluminum and gently rounded so as not to leave any sharp edges. The negative fish silhouettes make a positive design element ... roots, from the great western red cedar.
