Gone Fishing: Timeless Quotes about Fishing by Carol Schwartzott

"GONE FISHING is … a pull-out accordion which can also be viewed as a classic ‘turn the page’ book. There are five sections, each begins with a small collage, and opens to reveal two famous quotes about Fish and Fishing. The box is drop-lidded with additional cut-out scans of fish. The ‘FISH’ scans are of historical fish illustrations, many have been hand-colored with colored pencils.

 

“GONE FISHING … reaches back to yet another book I produced in 2005 BEYOND

ICHTHYOLOGY … basically my ‘swan song’ as my beloved letterpress printer, Brad Benedict of Blacks Corner Press had decided to attend law school, hence leaving the area and selling off all his equipment. The original book was presented as five cabinet versions, and ten boxed. All have been placed in libraries and private collections throughout the US.

 

“Lately I have been revisiting many of my former pieces, as I save complete records of each, from the beginning thumbnails to the final artwork. Enjoying the subject of fish...I decided I would work on a book of Fly Fishing....but time and subject matter available in Florida ( our winter residence) was not available...Instead I decided to work within the available information from my former research. AND....why not utilize the typography of the original book.

 

“This new fishing book was created in the ‘style’ of [the] old with a significant emphasis on a series of collages.” - Carol Schwartzott

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day.
Teach him how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. -  Lao Tzu
