An extract from the Des Cript description, poet Annie Hayter describes Meg's costume. Listen to the whole description in the Uncanny Gallery on Heads Bodies Legs website.
A person ankle deep in water stands in a creek under a bridge wearing a sheer skirt and top. The transparent material is decorated with the glint of a slug trail. Their arm and leg is held aloft, giving the appearance of them radiating out of the water.
Meg’s Sea Slug, part of Heads Bodies Legs Uncanny Waters series.

Aci by the river | London Handel Festival 2024 | Wardrobe
I got to look after these beautiful costumes for the Handel Opera Studio's reimagining of Aci, Galatea e Polifemo
This site-specific show came with its own challenges of makeshift laundry facilities and a tight turnaround to wash out the blood each night. Proud to say I did not get locked in and the suit stayed sharp and blood free!
