Marianne Goodrich, "Swimming With the Ancestors (an homage)," 2021

In response to When Two Waters Meet:

I especially enjoy making collages with Japanese papers, and for the past year have envisioned a collection of banners made of long, delicate and whispery sheets floating gracefully from bamboo rods and incorporating the iconography of the salmon image. Ultimately however, the properties of the paper itself dictated how the design should go: its delicacy or sturdiness, its dimensions, pattern and colour, all had final say in what I made.  

In the making of the banners I have been learning as I go, and have been inspired not only by the papers but by the theme of the concurrent exhibition When Two Waters Meet. With respect and gratitude for that inspiration, I present my first installation - Swimming with the Ancestors (an homage). - Marianne Goodrich
