Ghost Fisher I features a common kingfisher (Alcedo atthis) resting in an amorphous haze with a phantom fish in his beak. The presentation of the bird in a set of interlocking geometric forms is in reference to the detailed framing surrounding Russian Orthodox icons. The bird, while well-defined, suggests seeping into the matrix surrounding him.
