'Silhouette' by Andrew Valkenburg-

We've been working on "dark images" for several years now. This is specific to the role of storytelling and the continuum of finding yesterday's images in today's language.

I am creating a universal fairy tale Project which uses 'La Rate Blanche', a forgotten French folk tale as the basis of creating a fairy tale for all of humanity to speak one language and share an experience that links cultures and defies national, philosophical, religious, and social boundaries.

To this end, I have created source material in French, English and Chinese as the basic archetypes for each version of the fairy tale to be based upon.

combines numerous elements from the medival manuscript through modern craftsmanship.
