Mermaid's Taxonomy

By  Joanne Masding 2024 - 2025

Roger Sinek

Mermaid's Taxonomy is my second novel, currently in progress. Through the eyes of the central character, Mermaid, it considers categorisation, hybrids, and the order of the material world through underwater encounters.

Writing began in 2024, and continued during solo exhibition The Moveable Scene of the Page, at Bluecoat, Liverpool in 2025, where new drafts were added to a copper and steel structure throughout the exhibition run.
