Goodfellow's Lost Faerie Tales
How can a Faerie Tale be lost?
When it is not told, not shared, not given life and breath around the sacred fire of our shared imagination. Felt at the edges of our understanding, glimpsed in between the cracks of our everyday lives , tantalisingly near as our own reflection.
Lost maybe, but ever ready to be found.
Each image in this series is just the piece of a story that shows above the surface, emerging from the waters, concealing the tale that exists beneath on the deep tides of the imagination.
On the shores of that wondrous land of the imagination I set up my easel and allowed my inspiration to guide my eye, to illustrate untold stories, to thread that world through our own and into the imagination of all who feel stirred to respond.
Each of us may recognise the stories in our own way, be inspired our own unique direction. There are as many ways to tell a tale as there are tongues for it to trip off of.
All I know of these stories are in these illustrations, beyond that your guess is as good as mine. If you wish to find the stories they illustrate you must find them in your own inspiration, bring them to life in your words. Left alone they are Lost Faerie Tales, but you can find them if you have the mind to see.
So I invite you to search for Lost Faerie Tales within your own imagination, share them around the storytelling fire in words, written, spoken or sung and offer these illustrations as a key, a map, a doorway to set you on the path.
