‘Caught Between Two Worlds (Seen Off Scarborough)’ is a new take on the myth of the ‘selkies’: the seal people. The work combines the artist’s narrative with field recordings of the sea (at Scarborough, North Yorkshire, UK); recordings of family members discussing the selkie myth; original music and sound art.
Sarah Dew is a songwriter, composer, sound artist, singer, pianist, penny whistler, music teacher, choir leader and performer.
