Artist Residency  → Ribbons

Grief project born from a six-week residency, funded by my late mum’s pension. Folklore from Balkan rivers meets odd fairy-tale characters navigating “the other side” - a world after loss. Became a short comic and immersive installation of ribbons, sketches, and ink drawings.



Some experiements with photography and ink drawings. Snipped from the comic ...



More drawings with ink working out the “fairygodmother” character - more of fate weaving creature than the classic fairy lady in a dress.




Some character exploration for “Boris the Boy” who represented Anger and “Quinn” who represented bargaining.
