Morvoren (‘Mermaid’ in Cornish), draws on my childhood interest
in local folklore to explore the psychological landscape of
 growing up in Cornwall, revealing the hidden femininity of
the Celtic county. The guiding metaphor of the ‘Morvoren’
alludes to the cautionary origin of Cornish mermaid tales now
applied to the age of anxiety concerning the natural world,
 as well as the social issues deep-rooted within my county.
Intimate memories of the land and its ancient lore evoke a
sense of native estrangement, plunging the viewer into an
alien county.
