Carol Rae is a multi-disciplinary artist who has worked in every realm from bookbinding and costume design to voodoo doll-making -- so spawning a fishy project to draw attention to the environment was no problem.

With great glee, she has created a school of papier-mâché creatures that are part-animal, part-fish and covered them in opalescent scales.

"I call them Farmed Fish," says the Lake Cowichan artist, who had made little chicken fish with colourful combs and wattles, piggy-fish with snouts and cow versions, complete with fetching pink udders.
