Catalina Island Museum Exhibit Installed: “Soot and Water”
June 2020 - September 2021
Artists' Plaza Gallery
Our artwork has finally been delivered and installed at the Catalina Island Museum for our show, “Soot & Water: Gyotaku Records of Catalina”.
This exhibition showcases Dwight Hwang’s gyotaku prints representing 23 species from the waters surrounding Catalina Island. Conceived in mid-19th century Japan as a way to record impressive fishing catches, gyotaku prints are sublime tributes to the struggle, and the respect, between man and the denizens of the deep.
