'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.
