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.
