Fossil Fish Film (2022) is a very short animation film in which fossil fish appear, swim about, and freeze in their final resting places, accompanied by bubbly water noises. It is based on the artist's linocut print 22 Fossil Fish. [30 seconds] Completion date: 12th August 2022.

"That's a very interesting idea - that the fossils were 'alive' before their final resting place." (Nick Trench)
