Mermaid Mother

Mermaid Mother explores the authors memory of being left on the beach as her mother went for a long swim. To prevent her from following she made up a story that she was going to swim with the mermaids. But every time that her mother immersed herself in the sea she believed she would disappear.

The book uses bible paper and french folding to create a sense of fragility while alas obscuring the full imagery, it aims to evoke in the materiality of the book the emotional state conveyed by the author of her experience. 05 Mermaid Mother 08 Mermaid Mother
