BREWSTER, MA Naturescape Gallery at the Cape Cod Museum of Natural
History is proud to present original one-of-a-kind Fish Rubbings by
Chatham artist Jennifer Bovey<b> <br>

</b> Artist and full time professional dead fish rubber, Jenny
Bovey, will exhibit her mono prints made by brushing various colorants
over native marine life caught by local fishermen. The process requires
the skillful pressing and rubbing of real fish, crustaceans, mollusks,
shellfish, and plant life onto a variety of surfaces. The result is a
unique impression referred to as "Gyotaku". Gyotaku,
(gyo-fish, taku-rubbing) which was first practiced in Japan to record a
prized catch.<br>
<br>
Bovey is a native of Concord, MA, whose family has summered in Chatham
since 1962. Growing up in an artistic family, she has studied studio arts
since grade school. Jennifer launched Blue Water Fish Rubbings with
her husband in Baltimore, Maryland over 28 years ago. In 1994 they moved
to Chatham and opened Blue Water Fish Rubbings, which sells her work
exclusively on clothing, accessories, wall prints, and other home
furnishings, is located at 505 Main St in Chatham, MA.<br>
