“The Fisherman’s Memorial” – 5″ x 7″ Matted Linocut Print

As a soon-to-be transplant to Kalkaska County, I created this print in homage to the 18 foot tall National Trout Memorial sculpted in 1966 by Leo Nelson that stands adjacent to the Historical Museum in downtown Kalkaska. Dubbed “The Fisherman’s Shrine” and commemorated in Jim Harrison’s long-form piece “A Plaster Trout in Worm Heaven,” this print would make the perfect gift for the fisherman in your life. May it bring peace and joy in the endless quest for sustenance.

Measuring 5″ x 7″ matted, “The Fisherman’s Memorial” arrives in your mailbox ready to frame or gift. It has been hand-drawn, carved, and pressed on smooth Kitakata paper using a light-fast Black vegetable-oil based ink.

Fun Fact: From Jim Harrison’s “A Plaster Trout in Worm Heaven,”

Fishing in some Jungian sense returns us to the aesthetics of the ancient art of gathering and hunting our food. It is a time warp we may step in for a little peace.
