Hebridean geology shares more in common with North America than England, the Atlantic a mere stream between cultures, its marine inhabitants close cousins.
This Mermaid's Purse was provoked by a re-reading of Moby Dick and re-imagining the beached whaling vessels of Nantucket. Yet it also secretly connects to the beaches of Uist with the inclusion of a dyed blackbird skull within, giving silent voice to a European songbird and an artistic nod to the enigmatic work of artist Steve Dilworth on the Isle of Harris.
£200.00 (As exhibited.)
