I have been working closely with a taxidermy fish for several months, making replica soft sculptures of it and thinking about the culture and attitudes surrounding the strange thing that is a taxidermy fish. I decided to do a performance with the object and the only way I could was to be a mermaid, with a lingering fisherman.

On the coast of Cork, Syracuse is a divorced fisherman who has stopped drinking. His precocious daughter Annie has failing kidneys. One day, he finds a nearly-drowned young woman in his net; she calls herself Ondine and wants no one to see her. He puts her up in an isolated cottage that was his mother's. Annie discovers Ondine's presence and believes she is a selkie, a seal that turns human while on land. Syracuse is afraid to hope again.
