Thalassa Beckons by Erin M Brydon is a cyanotype on watercolor paper with bleach detailing and is 18×24”.
In the words of the artist:
“In this work, the siren is neither fully human nor entirely sea—her form dissolves into indigo depths, a liminal apparition caught between surfacing and vanishing. The process itself feels ocean-born, with its chemical washes echoing the ebb and flow of currents. She hovers in that in-between space where myth and water meet, her presence felt as much as seen, suspended in a moment that could be arrival or retreat. Soft golden currents drift across her body, while scattered light above recalls the shimmer of fish scales or the distant glow of another realm. Like the sirens of legend, she is both lure and warning—beckoning the viewer deeper even as she dissolves into the watery ether. This is the song beneath the surface: not heard, but felt in the bones, where desire and surrender meet in a single breath held underwater. In the spirit of Siren Song, the work invites us to consider the feminine as an oceanic force—mysterious, transformative, and forever beyond capture.”
