Seven pieces, each fish representing a generation of the Davis family in Bonavista North. From top left, are William (sold), George (sold), James, Levi (not shown - sold), and from bottom left, Augustus (sold), Bruce (donated to MUN Medicine's Monte Carlo Charity Event), and Janet. Their backgrounds are indicative of places the people have been associated with: Durdle Dor in England, nearby William's native Ringwood in Hampshire; Pinchard's Island for both George and James; Quirpon for Levi, who spent summers there with his family fishing; Pound Cove for Gus; Wesleyville for Bruce, my dad; and the background for my own fish is the view from my windows at home in Brookfield.

"After reading a memoir written by my great uncle Heber Gill, I was struck by his detailed descriptions of everyday life growing up on Pinchard's Island. What he failed to mention, however, was what the women were up to while he and the other men were cutting fire-wood, building boats, going to sea, catching fish, etc.
With this series of caplin images, I am attempting to comment on the value of women's input into daily life. Instead of numbering the pieces as I would for a traditional print edition, I have named them each for a woman stemming from Pinchard's Island. I feel it is important to use their first names, as opposed to their formal married names of our historical records. The first Mrs. Edwin P. Gill, for example, is Nellie. These are the women who helped to shape the Newfoundland that I love, but are not often talked about in our history books.
Why caplin? I've been using fish imagery in most of my artwork since 2002. The female caplin (as I learned during a brief period of employment at the local fish plant in the early 90s) is of much higher value than the male. The females are sold for their roe, while the males were mostly composted on gardens, or tossed unused back into the sea. I thought this was the perfect fish to use to show my esteem for the females of my past."

"I made these while completing my BFA at NSCAD University. The set of four shows myself, my mother Ollie (Gill) Davis, grandmother Emily Gill, and great-grandmother Hannah (Norris) Gill. The idea behind this one came when someone inquired about the red rose in my lapel on Mother's Day- no one in the printmaking department had ever heard of the tradition of donning a rose on Mother's Day: Red to signify your mother's health, and white to show that your mom has already passed on. I'm shown with rosebuds because I dearly wanted to become a mother myself. Of course, since then, Duke and I have been blessed with our son Frederick, born in 1999."
