I ate it, tasting my mother's blood in every bite.

Hello lovelies! I have just finished the second textile illustration for my upcoming book of feminist fairy tales entitled Wounds: New Openings Into Old Stories. 

For this piece (which is one of the two versions of Snow White found in the book)  I wanted a simple design and a longer quote. I experimented with tea dying to make the fabric look worn, tearing it for a more ragged look and staining the edges for definition since the protagonist of the story Perchance to Dream is in such despair. I also wanted the skin of the apple to be almost artificially shiny on top of a backdrop that looked like rotting garbage.

Stay tuned for the next illustration .
