Fields and Fables

Stories don't always need words. The name covers the two halves of this collection: the fields are the landscapes, ponds, coastlines, and gardens I keep coming back to, and the fables are the parts that aren't quite real, a dragon coiled on the page, a window painted onto a wall that opens onto somewhere else. Everything here sits at the edge of illustration and folklore, built the way a story is built, one detail leading to the next until something true emerges from something imagined.
