Reviews of the Deep Green Sea
“Surreal and magical. Your book pulls me in and out of the present and I fall into your drawings as if I am inside the dream. Your words flow like water or a steady beating drum. And all Colour evaporates, it’s just ‘Chiaroscuro’, contrasting light and shadows. It’s like being asleep and being woken with a phrase or command that suddenly causes you to remember…. Everything! It’s beautiful”

A spellbinding homage to the daughter of a selkie, Kelsey Ashe continues to mesmerize across this ecological allegory. Her exquisitely illustrated Deep Green Sea will ferry readers off to Avalon. Imagine the break of Hokusai’s wave in the chambers of a surrealist grotto. Or beach-combing Angela Carter’s “new wine in old bottles” on an Antipodean shore.
