Welcome friends! I'm posting an open call for fish drawings to fill a small book. The cover will be handmade and bound using salmon leather and, should you choose to participate, here are the parameters....1. Your fish should be rendered or drawn using a unique medium (of your choice), 2. It must be drawn at the minimum regulation size of the fish you choose, 3. Be sure to have fun and experiment! Please email 600 dpi photos or scans of your fish to caitlin.thissen@gmail.com and I will compile all of the fish by the end of this year (2023) into a digital publication to share with anyone that participates.

1% for Art : 2021 call for a mural installation at the Eagle River Waste Water Treatment Facility.

A vibrant infusoria - ciliates, flagellates, and amoeba - dance across the overhead door of the Eagle River Waster Water Treatment Facility. Large vinyl graphics in bright yellows, pinks, blues, and greens welcome visitors and employees, revealing the micro-participants used in the biological treatment of wastewater.

In collaboration with Christine Zavesky.

Garden/Pleasure investigates what a garden symbolizes as a space of myth and making; 7 booths, 1 per team. Each booth installation team/pair mixed artists, architects, psychologists, writers, journalists, and other producers.

Commissioned by Artspace for the City-Wide Open Studios festival with support from the National Endowment for the Arts in the Fall of 2017.
