I Am Salmon

Duncan Berry, artist, poet, and former salmon troller captain, shares his gratitude and passion for the sea through his words and practice of Gyotaku, the ancient Japanese art of printing fish, twisting our human-centric perspective of conservation toward one that reveres the creatures humans share this world with.
