The Fishine Creature



since 2012

The Fishline Creature is a series of performed photos centered on a costume made of knit fishing line (monofilament). The Fishline Creature is an unknown being reminiscent of the mythological selkie, a creature living along the water’s edge, having emerged from the ocean. Similarly, The Fishline Creature may also have come from the sea, spawned from trashed plastics swirling in the ocean - as if abandoned fishing nets and other plastic debris came to life while washing ashore. Like other wild creatures, The Fishline Creature appears fleetingly at the periphery of human habitation, often at dawn or dusk.
