About
This second printing of Dworskys popular debut photobook Sealskin brings back into print his chronicle of family life and the fishing community of a small Maine village during the 1970s and 1980s. Using Kodachrome film, Dworsky documented daily life, work on the water, and intimate moments at home, capturing a close-knit coastal world that no longer exists. The title refers to a Celtic folktale about a fisherman who falls in love with a selkiea seal that can take human formonly to ultimately lose her back to the sea, a quiet echo of the books themes of memory, loss, and change.
