Goldy Locks and the Three Ws: The First of Six Mixed-Up Fairy Tales

“I am interested in the tools of narration. Words, sentences, images and syntax are all tools of narration, but so is the lead and wood type, and the wood and linoleum from which I carve the imagery. I enjoy testing the boundaries of understanding in narration. At times I do this by using nonsense words, at other times I pair and re-pair familiar images and archetypes, such as fairy tale characters. One of the amazing abilities of being human is how we tie objects and events together to create a sensible environment. Often this ‘sense-making’ is more of a habit than simply an ability, and I am interested in the new stories and symbols we create when confronted with familiar subjects in new settings.”
