Artist Statement I am hoping to make my way in the world as a children's book illustrator.
A unique take on illustration, I used contemporary dance to 'illustrate' the selected scene and then hand drew each figure, putting great stress on composition, to tell the story. The drawings concentrate entirely on the figure, turning the unicorn into a metaphor and communicating the story through the character's movement and expressions.
The short story used is 'Tearing Down the Unicorns' by Janni Lee Simner.
