A surreal fairytale and fable series based on Galician and Western European folktales transmitted orally through millennium. The original, disturbing folktales were re-written as dream-like fairytales with happy endings in the 17th century. Themes of truth prevailing, generosity rewarded, obstacles overcome, and love and kindness winning over evil appealed to later audiences. Despite this, the dark and violent, neolithic folklore of survival continues to influence culture to today. I decided to write my own tales. Project in process in film, postcard, book.
