Carpe Diem Carp
linocut print on silk
by Dale Copeland, 1990
Collection of Val and Trev Barrett, New Plymouth
| 'Carpe Diem' is Latin for "Seize the day". Take the opportunities, the chances, the excitements. Incidentally, I carved out the linocut with a general idea of what a fish should look like. I don't think I've ever seen a carp. So I apologise to the ichthyologists who know what it SHOULD look like. But hey, I just looked at carp images online, and it looks OK. I'm pleased. |
