Phrenology II: Wolf (Big Enough To Eat You)
Phrenology II: Red Riding Hood (Small Enough To Be Eaten)
These creations by Morwenna Catt are so striking and visceral.
Just looking at them, you can appreciate their labour-intensity: they're so intricate and imaginative, and achieve the perfect balance between beauty and barbarity.
I found this fairytale pair to be particularly captivating. They immediately brought to mind one of my favourite Angela Carter collections, The Bloody Chamber, which features a fantastic reworking of the Red Riding Hood tale.
Such skilled and spooky stitching.
