Mermaid Just Caught

Mermaid Just Caught
Who Caught Who?

 Over the years I’ve known several mermaid girls. Women of an age yes but really 7-12. A mermaid is like Peter Pan, some part of the human soul that refuses to grow old, a part of the psyche that is forever young. Forever free.

Free is an interesting word with this mermaid because clearly she’s been caught, chain wraps twice around her tail and chain twice around her wrist. She has been caught and someone is taking her home. Because we can’t see her face in detail she is every woman – girl in a sea side dream. She is sultry and swimmily svelte in this graceful central arc as she is being pulled to the surface. Her attire is pure mermaid from the waist down, while double spirals cover her breast. I should note the long isosceles triangle detail on the mermaid tail has little silver granulation beads individually soldered on, an amazing textural detail, accent golden bronze ball earrings and hat detail and golden bronze spheres as part of her tail decoration.

Each mermaid tells a story. It might appear the chain and her situation as caught is the end of the story or does the story really begin after she is landed? As you consider this seaside dream where does the catching really begin and who here has been caught? Is it the mermaid or is it really he with the fishing tackle who has been snared? Mermaid is 2 ½” left to right, chain is 20” long with a 2” adjustable section.
Sterling silver with golden bronze accents. Mermaid upper body is carved from Indonesian cow bone.
