Not Your Average Mermaid

 
I'm not sure who designed this and I'm not sure I even like it, but here it is. She almost looks like part of the water, or part seal or something. Maybe that's the point I've missed. Maybe she is a tranforming Sealkin.

    Is it just me, or does the sculptor have a problem with anatomy? It looks like her knee is at almost ankle height. The leg bent up in back is the one I mean. It looks bizarre.

    I'll take a better look at it tomorrow and see if it has a dedication plate with a name on it. The whole thing looks like a transformation between seal and woman. If it was on purpose, all is well. But, if it was just, well, how shall I say this, a poor attempt at realism, then you nailed it. Bizarre. hehe

    I like it! It looks liquid..as if she is transforming into a seal or a mermaid. She also looks as if she is doing it with happy abandonment of human shackles. The only thing that bugs me, is that her hands are huge! Can't see a mermaid with big hands.
    It makes me happy and want to shed my clothes and go swimming and Laugh!

    Meribeth, I think her hands are huge, maybe they are becoming flippers? She's a mysterious bit of sculpture, that's certainly true.

    On hot days I'd love to go swimming but not in that channel. heehee
