When is a fish not a fish?<\/p>\n
When Lucy Dugan wrote about ‘fish’ she described a dad’s affection for his daughter as ‘the catch of the day’.<\/p>\n
When Nicole Mickle brought her ‘fish’ into life like bronze relief the expression was just as obscure.<\/p>\n
So here she is, a little ‘fish’ at the head of Busselton Jetty, gazing out into the ocean onto the playground she cherished.<\/p>\n
Perhaps she’s not a fish after all but a ‘selkie’ who’ll one day head back out to sea, breaking hearts as she goes, never to return again.<\/p>\n
