Mermaid Skeleton Wall Hanging Sculpture

Limited edition wall hangings. Mermaids in North America were first documented by Christopher Columbus when he reported seeing mermaids while exploring the Caribbean. In 1493, sailing off the coast of Hispaniola, Columbus reported seeing three “female forms” which “rose high out of the sea, but were not as beautiful as they are represented”. The logbook of Blackbeard, an English pirate, records that he instructed his crew on several voyages to steer away from charted waters which he called “enchanted” for fear of merfolk or mermaids, which Blackbeard himself and members of his crew reported seeing. These sighting were often recounted and shared by sailors and pirates who believed that mermaids brought bad luck and would bewitch them into giving up their gold and dragging them to the bottom of the sea. Two sightings were reported in Canada near Vancouver and Victoria, one from sometime between 1870 and 1890, the other from 1967.” This sculpture is inspired by my own experiences with Mermaids dating back to the 1967 sighting in British Columbia. In 1967 I was living and going to high school in Seattle, Washington, just a few hours from Vancouver. There is evidence that the “Vancouver” Mermaid actually attended my High School disguised as an attractive freshman. Subsequently I was “enchanted” and dragged to the bottom of Puget Sound… Miraculously, I survived the encounter. Limited edition of 35 hand cast in Architectural Hydrocal & Fiberglass composite.
