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.
