Description

"CatchAhold" is a watercolor painting that portrays a partly gutted fish. The title and inspiration stem from the traditional folk song "Feller from Fortune," particularly echoing the chorus with its call to action: "catch-a-hold this one, catch-a-hold that one." This piece not only captures the physical act of preparing fish, but also celebrates the cultural vibrancy and communal spirit found in the song's depiction of local life and labour. The artwork connects the visceral task of fishing wit
