Trory Minnow

$250.00
“Time & Tackle Series”

“Trory Minnow”
-considered to be America's first manufactured wooden minnow. Marketed circa 1899.

This series came out of working with fish decoys—handling objects meant to move, to work, to disappear underwater. I kept thinking about what’s left behind. Not the catch, but the things that made it possible.

Not nostalgia—evidence.
Every mark earned. Every surface used.
