Modern German Fairy Tale

This booklet was made for a brief given to our class at the start of 4th year. It was to create a modern German fairy tale....i didn't do so well with this brief with finding the modern part so instead created just a fairy tale about a boy who wishes on his eyelashes to the point of no return. In this book i was attempting to look at the weight problems can pose on us daily and the effects this can have.

The Image below is one of an edition of Silk screen-printed Birds i created. Its called Heart bird, The drawing was taken from a dead bird and then silk screen printed with three different colours.
