We had another productive weekend this week working on our pieces for the fairytale exhibition next month. We didn’t get all the work done that we’d have liked to as we were awaiting the delivery of some materials but we still made good progress. Two of our characters, Little Red and Joringel were adorned with nice full heads of raven black hair as you can see above.

Here are some more snippets from the collaborative creatures I’m working on at the moment with Layla Holzer. I thin you’ll agree that the nightingale painted up by Layla is a real thing of beauty. That particular piece will form a part of the puppet that illustrates the Grimm’s Jorinda and Joringel story.

These are some images of the body parts I stitched together over the weekend as part of a collborative project I’m working on with the magical illustrator Layla Holzer.
The final puppets will take a puppet-like form constructed from a range of materials. These Louise Bourgeois-esque body parts have been constructed from pink towelling and silicon baby bottle teats for our Rapunzel figure.

As previously mentioned on this blog I’ve recently started working on some collaborative sculptures with the wonderful illustrator Layla Holzer. The work is being prepared for a an exhibition of fairy tale inspired works that are to be exhibited at St Donat’s Art Centre next month.
We’ve chosen to work with three stories by the Brothers Grimm which are Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel, and the lesser known Jorinda and Joringel. We’re working on puppet like sculptures that will encapsulate elements of the fairy tales and the themes that these stories explore. The fur lined vessel pictured above is a piece we’ve been working on for Little Red Riding Hood’s puppet.
