The second print in The Archaeology of Water suite. The poem, Fish, was contributed to the project by George Amabile.

The five poets whose work forms the literary core of the project are associated with the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg. The project was initiated and coordinated by Winnipeg writer Karen Clavelle, who teaches in the Department of English, Film and Theatre at St. Paul's College, U of M.

The imagery for the prints was developed through a collaboration between myself and Vancouver artist/writer Tracy Jager. In fact, most of the concepts and materials for the imagery came from Tracy, while I worked out the technical elements necessary to get the imagery embedded into the plates, and eventually printed.
