Four Fish, Smart Objects

Smart fish. Smarter objects.

Four large folk-art fish with geometric patterned scales, stacked in alternating directions among seaweed over a wavy aqua ground with a rainbow-arch base. Modernist folk pattern.

The Story

Under the Lake Worth Pier, the snapper and snook are patterned like folk art and educated about hooks. The ones that got away constitute a local literature, enlarged with each retelling. These four are the archive's permanent residents, stacked in alternating directions.

The Making

  • Folk fish built as reusable modules in Illustrator - one patterned fish, recolored and flipped into a stack of four, scale patterns drawn as geometric repeats inside each body.
  • Seaweed and wavy ground finished in Photoshop.
  • Print-prepped at 2400 × 3000 px, 300 dpi.
