The fish,  all the materials, and work, and hand stitching had all become so familiar.  After spending months on the fish I knew each fish by detail.  It was quite something to see all the work displayed, so publicly.   People were looking at the display and appreciating the array of colour and textures.  But in the end it was gratifying to see the work completed.  Here are some of the pictures of opening night.

One element that was especially exciting was the different angles that one can view the installation.  Here are some images taken from the arena.  At any point from within the arena one can see the fish.
