There is a definite mood about them. When we saw the paintings that were left, we fell in love with quite a few but in the end it was no contest: we would like \u2018Mermaid\u2019 to live with us. We are part of a queer arts group called The Ethel Mermaids. We produce art as well as greatly appreciate it in all its forms, celebrating and championing queer art. So Stewart&#8217;s work is perfect for the Ethel Mermaids&#8217; ethos. We love the mermaid&#8217;s wild, tree-like hair, her mysterious physique and her mosaic tail. There is something very emblematic about this image and whilst it is slightly different to the paintings that we were previously familiar with, it has the haunting, delightfulness of Stewart&#8217;s work.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Corinna and Becky are the custodians of this painting.
