Mermaids Book Signing

On Friday, August 8, from 6-8 pm, Vered Gallery is hosting a book signing by Michael Dweck of his new book Mermaids. Dweck's lovely, aloof mermaids have a strange remoteness abstracted through the medium of water, as if in a dream. A deluxe edition, with an original print, will be available at the gallery for $600 (trade editions are also available). Dweck began his mermaid project in Amagansett and Montauk, photographing friends in pools and lake shallows. With the change of season he flew to Miami, taking photographs in pools, the ocean, and finally discovering the Weeke Wachee Spring in North Western Florida. There, some of the most spectacular shots were made at depths of 40-50 feet of 'mermaids' free breathing for up to 45 minutes. The enchantment of the place and the physical charm of Dweck's mermaids has combined to make Mermaids a modern classic.
