This work was created for'Happily Ever After: alternative destinies in contemporary feminine narrative', an exhibition of artists’ books at the John Paynter Gallery, Friday 10th – Sunday 26th June 2011, and Artspace Mackay, Friday 22nd July- Friday 28th October 2011, curated by Caelli Jo Booker and Helen Hopcroft.
The work A likely story indeed references the fairytale 'Alice in Wonderland' by Lewis Carol. Over the years 'Alice in Wonderland' has provided inspiration for many of my works and A likely story indeed continues this fascination .The work is inspired by childhood memories of creating my own fairy take books out of anything I could get my hands on, including the left over plastic stubs from shopping bags, this was a favourite activity on shopping day!
