PAULA SAVAGE | 'Kaiyar Mabaig' | Linoprint on BFK Rives paper

"Rock lobster is collected by islanders fisherman as a very high priority for island men today this Lino shows the process of clean alive. Live lobsters crays are sorted in two’s which means you can have tails for being waded and also can have the rays alive and sell them straight at the factory." - Paula Savage
