Hatter's Tea Party by Marie Louise Wrightson
Marie has spent just over a 年 preparing for this exhibition. When asked what inspired her she replied "Like many people, I have been influenced and inspired 由 fairy tales, cartoons, films and children’s books; especially the Alice in Wonderland stories.
With cautionary messages and wonderful worlds in which to escape, little Alice, the Mad Hatter and The 皇后乐队 of Hearts have always created an endless fascination and curiosity of wonder for me. With my work I have explored a 更多 grown up Alice, an Alice who is still full of wonder and surprise but who also embraces all the delights of Wonderland during her fantastical journeys.
An all important part of the stories, is for me the visual attraction of the 图书 illustrations. I have always looked at the illustrations first and read the words later, “partly due to my dyslexia”, but also because I am always completely absorbed 由 the fabulous drawings within the books. For me the drawings bring the characters to life, allowing the reader to fall down into the rabbit hole with Alice and visualize Wonderland for themself."
Marie is joined 由 Ellis and Copplestone of Wonderland Bronzes whose bronze resin sculptures of The Mad Hatter, Cheshire Cat, Alice, the Dodo are hard to resist.
