David Blyth worked with local school children as part of this commission. Two major source inspirations were a 1960 paper doll toy found in a local charity shop (the kind one used to cut out the clothes for with the little tabs that fold over) and the Macduff Marine Aquarium. The human/sea animal hybrid is also a concept widespread in Scottish folklore here however David focuses on corals, polyps, urchins and etc rather than the more traditional seals and fish of sylkies and merfolk.
