A Mixed Media piece I made from some of
the dyed fabric. It was meant to be sunbeams -
and turned out to look like
- a fishface...
"Da, wo Kolumbus Indien sucht,
wo die grossen Schiffe versinken,
wo einem, ohne zu blinzeln,
ein Fisch ins Auge schaut.
wo es aussieht wie auf dem Mond,
wo der Mond aussieht
wie das Ei der Nacht,
wo man sich fragt, ob man umkehren soll
oder nicht,
wo man nicht umkehrt,
weil es schauderhaft schön ist."
(Jürg Schubiger: Wo ist das Meer?/Where is the sea?)
Where Columbus searched for India,
where the big ships sink,
where, without blinking,
fish look you right into the eye.
Where it looks like on the moon,
where the moon looks
like the egg of night,
where you ask yourself whether you should
turn around or not,
where you don´t turn around,
cause it´s awfully beautiful.

It does look like a fish...eye watching! Amazing : ) nice poem.
Yes, the fish seems to be looking us "right in the eye"!
Well, Big Fish is watching you - and me... :)
There really is something fishy about this.
