Juliet’s work is based on the story ‘Sealskin, Soulskin’, written
by Dr Clarrissa Pinkerton Estés, which re-tells the story of a man who steals
the skin of a woman-seal, imprisons her on land, but loses her when their child
finds the skin and releases her back to the sea, and freedom.
Juliet is a sculptor and
installation artist and works in various media. Her website address is: http://julietlockhart.co.uk/
For the uninitiated (as I was three weeks ago), Platform 1 has some background information about the myths surrounding Selkies.
