My constant companion in the studio since the pandemic began. Having recently returned from a fabulous trip to Japan I wanted to create something inspired by everything I had experienced. Amabie (アマビエ) is a legendary Japanese mermaid or merman with a bird-beak like mouth and three legs or tail-fins, who allegedly emerges from the sea, prophesies either an abundant harvest or an epidemic, and instructed people to make copies of its likeness to defend against illness.

Original China painted porcelain, hand dyed antique lace and textiles, antique gelatin sequins, shells, Japanese tie dyed silk.
