“When I thought about illustrating Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland with my photographs I had more than a moment of panic. I love Tenniel’s images so much that it made imagining a new visual take on Alice’s story difficult. My solution was to put the original illustrations into new settings which I then photographed. For me this kept the spirit of the original visual narrative grounded in something familiar and at the same time it allowed me to invent a new landscape where the story takes place. The landscape I decided to place Alice in is one where books form a kind of architecture. Because books embody both, the physical and the imaginary I thought they stood well with Lewis Carroll’s writing. Travelling to wonderland may be very much like walking on the pages of a tale — like going deep into a book.”
