Celerating A Fascination of Traditional Chinese Mutualism

A Fascination of Traditional 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.
