Not Telling...

Digital painting/illustration with texture.

I actually intended this to be a childhood self portrait. It rings quite true, although not an exact likeness. I occasionally wore a similar dress, but wouldn't have tolerated ribbons for one minute! So this is the farm/stables where I grew up.....never thought I would draw a hay bale...

Little book design

Digital painting/illustration with collage.

A fairytale and a book of her own story in the making. The main image mirrored within itself in the form of a book cover. x

Playroom

For Specters and Dreams

Reworked photomontage, originally created in 2006. I wondered about the darkness seen through the eyes of a very young child. Familiar creatures born of moonlight, imagination populating the shadows. And fear.

Number Thirteen

 Number Thirteen

Digital drawing/painting, except for the floorboards & scissors, which I took from a photograph.

What a jolly unseasonal offering!

Inspired by: Growing pains, adolescence, my own past (I turned thirteen on Friday the 13th), the X-Files, invisible siblings, Aimee Bender, Angela Carter, current dream symbols.

I like the idea of a room without walls in the sky. Could also represent a sort of diving board or gangplank...into the unknown. Maturation, or the close of childhood, the violence of an unplanned departure.

Best wishes for the holidays xxx
