Spawning Pink Salmon

“Humpies” as they’re affably called, live for two years at sea before returning to spawn the next generation. This is why pink runs in Washington only occur every other year; there are no one-year-old or three-year-old fish to establish runs in the other years.

Here, a set of spawning male humpies are printed using Sumi ink and watercolor on Unryu (rice fibre) paper. Giclée print reproduced using museum grade cotton fiber paper with acid-free inks.
