...from MauMau Blood Dreams...4 collage postcards...

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.

MMI. “…when birds flew from the heavens to bring us stories..."

MII. “…though this did not kill him."

MMIV. “Like a fairytale, the further on, the more sinister.”

MMV. “Who art thou?" "I am Death, and I make all equal."

'You take paths blindly, but, guided by your beating heart, you will always find beneficial destinations. Here in the exhibition, the anonymous narrator is right at the door and draws a route. There are several stops on it. You can, between different little chapels, sit down and enjoy dreaming again. The works recover fabrics and stories, maps and photos, events that are glued together in a confusing, inverted, insoluble timeline. And all the better because you can then recover them and make sense of them. your own way.' excerpt from show text
