FISH WRAP, Tess McKnight, 2024, oil paint and oil stick, 16 x 24 in. / 40.64 x 60.96 cm.

FISH Wrap resulted from a self portrait started two decades prior. It captures my memories of fishing on the surf with my Grandfather Otto. The dress reflects my memories of Grandmother Alice. Alice was a member of the Order of the Eastern Star. Alice often wore beautiful gowns.
