The Wild Run (Spawning Salmon) While fording a river in Alaska
during spawning season, numerous Cohoe salmon leaped high above the
water in their journey upstream. The opposing force of the spawning
run and the natural flow of the water around me inspired this work.
Upon my return home, I sought to capture the upper cut of the jaw, the
rudiness of the belly characteristic of spawning salmon.
The
highly polished heads are meant to evoke wetness and are a contrasting
texture to the scaley body of the salmon.
