Folklore
True folklore sits somewhere between memory and myth. This project occupies that same twilight space, utilising historical footnotes and literary ghosts to construct new narratives of isolation. Whether reimagining the legal cruelty of the 1700s or personifying the despair of the modern age, these visual stories strip away the comfort of the familiar to reveal the cold, quiet truth beneath.
BLOODY NORAH
Bloody Norah! A curse today, though behind it lies a 17th. Century tale. Norah, a wealthy Duke’s maid, murdered two fellow servants with a stick of celery and a kettle. Much blood was shed, and the furious duke retaliated with a horseshoe.
His blows were futile, but not his ire. From then on her name became ‘Bloody Norah’. In every sense, and rightly so. I’ve captured the air that must have existed between them. Bloody to the end.
