Holly Russell
Holly Russell has delved deep into the world of fairytales, focusing on bygone narratives which, despite having withstood the test of time, have never really been given a media spotlight, but which are packed with visual language, intrigue, and insight into the past.
Russell’s interest has always sat with narrative illustration and this project has given her an opportunity to explore both the supernatural and the natural elements of each tale, which are grounded in history, folklore and tradition. She aims overall in her work to create media which is appropriate for children but can be enjoyed by children and adults alike and which can be shared across generations.
