"The originals were stories told by women to women , to pass the time in a culture were women had no individual power. These were stories of feisty heroines that outwitted the enemy."

"Later, then the stories became written and then illustrated, the symbols emerged of 'good and evil' - the blonde, blue-eyed princess... the handsome prince on a white horse... the evil stepmother... the bearded villian - and these are the illusions that the illustrators brought to the stories."

"The images depict a heroine with a 'knowing eye' which makes one question whether the wolf shouldn't be the one who is fearful! And, it's this very ambiguity that is more in keeping with the original."

"My process is more like that of a filmaker than a photographer... I use props and I cast models into roles."
