Typepad not working for me today. Each time that I try to save or publish a post I am thrown to the sign in page, my work lost. I had wanted to write some commentary alongside this series of images, but it doesn't seem worth the risk of losing more work (and effort) at present. Most of these works were taken from three artist's books that I made between 2002 and 2007, my uni years.

The themes were concerned with fairytales and dream work (many of the text elements are handwritten or type written segments from my dreams), mapping the unconscious, playing with the surreal. They are quite a bit darker in mood than my usual, more recent works, yet clearly coming from the same 'nucleus'.

I am hoping to split these into several posts, so do check them out if you have the time!

Will see if this post works....more later tonight, perhaps x

sadistic fairies must live in the wonderful place where death ever comes! ;) and did you realize you wrote nucleus and split in the same strain of thought? happy little explosion of atomic proportions happening in your brain of late?
i especially love the live twigs pasted between the leaves (pages in german) as if they had missed them since last summer. and the dark lady beckoning the naked lady to come across the threshold...
