A Faccination Tradditional Chinese Mutualism on Li River Gulin, China.
20in x 20in
Amalgamation of: Framed Canvas, Acrylic Paint, Glue, Paper, Netting, Bamboo, Oil Paint and Jute String.
Another example of my Life-Long Love of the discipline of Cultural Anthropology.
I saw pictures of these Chinese men and these Cormorant birds and had to paint them.
The birds are tied with a long string to the fisherman's net. The bird helps the men by geting fish from the water and placing them ito the fisherman's net
I use the term "Mutualism" in my title, asssuming that the birds must be rewarded with some of their catch.
