Lundy, a small island situated off the north coast of Devon, was Britain's first Marine Conservation Zone. Home to approximately 180 Atlantic grey seals, Lundy is a haven for wildlife.
The Lundy is a tail for selkies. Mysterious shapeshifters, particularly prominent in Celtic and Norse culture, who live as seals in the sea and shed their skin when on land.
It is fitting perhaps that this tail was designed using a photograph of seal fur taken in Norway. The high quality sublimation print recreates the detail and texture of the fur beautifully. Gently padded side flippers add a more solid, fleshy dimension.
I wonder if selkies have ever been spotted sheltering along the coast of Lundy?
