Using Kodachrome film, Dworsky documented daily life, work on the water, and intimate moments at home, capturing a close-knit coastal world that no longer exists. The title refers to a Celtic folktale about a fisherman who falls in love with a selkie—a seal that can take human form—only to ultimately lose her back to the sea, a quiet echo of the book’s themes of memory, loss, and change.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jeff Dworsky","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57639238762878,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/2593\/1985\/files\/jeff-dworsky-sealskin-front-cover.jpg?v=1783089034"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/2593\/1985\/collections\/jeff-dworsky-sealskin-front-cover.jpg?v=1783089931","url":"https:\/\/www.setantabooks.com\/collections\/jeff-dworsky.oembed","provider":"Setanta Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
