Throughout his career, John Tunnard revealed a special interest in natural history and regularly included birds, insects and particularly fish in his compositions. The mystery of life beneath the surface and the irrational juxtaposition of the fish resonated with both his surreal tendencies and the significant time he spent on the Cornish coast. Sea Bed (1947), Shoal of Fish (1953) and Spider Crab (1955) were other notable examples of this genre.
