Statement about AOAP Submitted Artwork  

I'm interested in the recurring imagery in old tales, often used to blur meanings, or to act metaphorically within stories, especially stories expressing a moral ground. This series is a combination of tales and bestiaries. My work aims to look deeper into what these old tales and representations might say of our societies, the impact they may have had on them today, and the messages we will pass on to our future generations.  

Please do not bid on artwork in our Art on a Postcard auctions if you intend on selling the artwork after you have purchased it. This auction has been organised for charity and all artworks have been generously donated by the artists to raise money for the Hepatitis C Trust. When the work produced for the charity is sold on the secondary market it damages our relationship with the artist and prevents us from fundraising.
