Hosted by Thinkspace Projects in Los Angeles, in 2023, Fish Fingers was Allison Bamcat’s third solo show, showcased at the gallery’s “Dog House,” an outdoor pop-up gallery space.

“For FISH FINGERS, I wanted to continue my exploration of objects as creatures, creatures as ghosts, and other hybridized forms. I have a fascination with biology, especially the failed branches of evolution: the creatures that are extinct (not by human hands but by time). I learned a lot about how many generations it takes an animal to create specialized characteristics in the wild, such as camouflage, developing poison glands, or adaptive features like long tongues for slurping up termites.

Probably once per day, I get hit with the realization that even contemplating existence, or my existence, or the existence of these themes at all is something very unique to my experience as a human living in 2023. Existing at all, long enough to contemplate, is amazing and kind of unlikely given the age of the earth and humans and living things.” - Allison Bamcat for Sour Harvest link to article
