Fishwife Tales is an epic lyric sequence which details the life of a shape-shifting marine creature reminiscent of a siren, selkie or generic mermaid. My hope has been to use this mythic conceit to explore the clash and amalgamation of historic masculine and feminine natures in an emblematical domestic setting.

Musician/composer Sarah Eide and I have collaborated on several genre defying musical works based on the Fishwife Tales.
