Broccoli - Fruit of Mythic Dreaming: Imagined Folklore
$42.00 AUD
In the pages of this beguiling book, Bethany van Rijswijk’s imagined folklore conjures histories that must be felt to be believed. Styled as fragments of lost texts and scholarly works and accompanied by Bethany’s evocative collages, these tales speak of encounters with fairy cats and petrified flowers found in ice caves. They tell of the ways of hog witches, the rites of bear marriage, and the weaving of spider silk, drawing readers into new realms of possibility.
Bethany van Rijswijk is a writer and collage artist based in Tasmania, Australia. Offering up new worlds created from remnants of our own, she seeks to challenge some of the “oppressive phantasms” of our time through a critical engagement with folklore and fantasy.
40 pages, 5.8 x 8.25 inches, soft-bound with full-colour art.
