The Cape Cod Museum of Natural History presents
Naturescape Gallery
Original One-of-a-Kind Fish Rubbings
by Jennifer Bovey
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
February 18 ~ March 31, 2017.
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.
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.
