Binnie's "Carp" (Koi) engages with one of the most venerable subjects in East Asian art — the koi, symbol of perseverance, good fortune, and the principle of swimming upstream against difficulty. In Japanese printmaking, carp appear in rushing water, their orange and white forms cutting through blue-green currents with muscular grace. Binnie brings his [shin-hanga](/glossary/shin-hanga) technique to this classical subject, using [bokashi](/glossary/bokashi) gradation to render the water's movement and the fish's gleaming scales.
