Additional Information

Artist Statement:

I created this piece in humor. I've lived in the Red River Valley all of my life, and I've dealt with all of the flooding. I was thinking about what could happen if fish took over the land and humans took over the river. What's more ironic than a fish catching a human? The style of the prints are even reminiscent of the playful animation in a Shel Silverstein poetry book.
