Description:
Just Fish is a 12 panel series of digital images created by Newfoundland artist Pam Hall for an interdisciplinary project about ethical approaches to Canadian fisheries on both the east and west coasts. Hall spent three years researching this project and utilized the knowledge she had gleaned from her ten years of conversation with inshore fishermen in Newfoundland. She also conducted a research trip to Haida Gwaii, an archipelago formerly known as the Queen Charlotte Islands, off the coast of British Colombia, to learn from Haida fishers. Hall’s aim with this research was “to place the knowledge of practice beside the knowledge of theory" (from the artist’s website). The result of the interdisciplinary research project was a physical and digital pamphlet titled Just Fish: Ethics and Canadian Marine Fisheries published in 1998 and illustrated by Hall’s images. [1]
