‘Mermaids’, 2006, tag-book, hard covers,
Watercolour paper, and acid-free cartridge, archival inkjet, limited edition 50, size 12.5X6.5X2cm; £25,
This is a version of a one-off book that I made some months earlier.

The mermaids and merman were 'rescued' from churches, where the meaning attached to them is somewhat derogatory. Some of the images on the tags are shown here. On the back of each tag is a story about mermaids, mermen or selkies.
