Slipped Skin by Katie Hale is a tender, sensuous meditation on queerness, transformation, and the porous boundaries between land and sea, body and story. Braiding poetic narrative, essay and mythic retelling, the sequence reimagines the selkie as a figure of in-betweenness, a creature of thresholds, shaped by longing, breath, and change. Hale's language is fluid and precise, attuned to the tensions of embodiment and the lyric potential of refusal. Set against the salt-bright textures of water and sand, the work stages a quiet, radical reclamation of identity, intimacy and myth, yielding a poetics that is both elemental and deeply personal.
