The base photos were taken during a year I spent photographing the interaction between the sunlight and shade on Falkland Estate. Each design is inspired by the photograph it is etched into. They predate my fairytale creatures and are based around the notion that our beautiful and peaceful countryside is fuelled by survival of the fittest and a near constant alertness to threat. One day I wondered what else might be lurking in the shadow and my fairytale friends were born.
