and hold your breath
In this collection of witty and beautiful drawings the clever Mr Cassells has dove-tailed two passions that have helped give order to the business of his adolescence; the history of aviation, and fish. Aside from triggering memories, these images collapse conventional distinctions between purpose and meaning, between factory production and pelagic freedom, peace and war. And because a great battle currently rages between human industrial capacity and its capacity to damage the natural world, we might also reflect on the potency at the heart of this apparently innocent, beautiful and whimsical project.
